Thank you to everyone who came out to support our 5th annual plant sale! The sale was a success, and together we raised over $6,500!

We'd like to extend a very special thank you to the Maine Department of Corrections Agriculture Program and Fedco Trees for their generous donation of seedlings and trees. We'd also like to thank Hilltop Farms & Greenhouses, Home Depot, Longfellow's Greenhouses, Pierce's Greenhouses, Sunset Flowerland & Greenhouse, and Tractor Supply for all their donations and support of our annual Plant Sale. We couldn't do it without you!

If you are still looking for a few items for your garden - we still have some vegetable and flower seedlings for sale, a handful of perennials, and some lilac trees! Call us at 873-3615 or stop by.

With Mother's Day approaching, the NACG invites you to try a remembrance activity that you can do with children who are grieving — a memory collage to honor their person. Each family member may create their own collage or make one together. You can find the supplies and step-by-step instructions in the graphic or listed below.

This activity is from the NACG Family Activity Book. To purchase, visit nacg.org/shop.

Supplies Needed:
- Paper, glue, scissors
- Pictures - from magazines, online, or photos of your person
- Crayons, markers, pencils
- Items around your home to decorate the collage

Instructions:
1. Ask each family member to create a collage representing their thoughts, feelings, or memories about the person who died.
2. Share your collages after everyone is finished.
3. Discuss what thoughts, feelings, or memories did you have about your person while making this? What did you learn about your person from this activity?

Variation:
- You can make one big family collage together.
- For those who do not have memories or who have few memories, suggest that they collage about what they know about your person from others or about wishes for the future they would want to share with the person who died.
