At Plant Something Maine, we’re on a mission to help people, kids, and families all around the state to take the first step: plant a tree, a shrub, vegetables, or flowers. Do it in a container, a window box, a raised bed, a community garden or in your backyard – anytime you set down roots it has an impact on your health, your well-being your community, your environment, even your wallet!

“I’m originally from Chicago and the only plant I ever had was a sad philodendron. Now that I live in Maine, I ask questions at my local gardening center every time I go. They’re so nice! Never once have they looked at me like I’m crazy for not knowing the difference between a cornflower and a coneflower.”
