This month, we join Aquidneck Community Table to learn why farmers markets are so much fun, discover how we can grow healthy plants in a community garden, and find out how to make flowers to keep forever at home!
The Aquidneck Growers Market is held on Wednesdays on Memorial Boulevard from 2-6pm, and on Saturdays from 9am-12pm at Pell Elementary School.
