Successful Malden Summer Festivals, Melrose Farmers’ Markets, & Fall Fairs (June-October, 2021)

Thank you to the City of Malden for their initiative in creating the Malden Summer Festivals.  They were a lot of fun and successful!  Sowing Opportunities gave away plants to the community, made new contacts, and talked about our work in Chajmaic, Guatemala.  Click here for additional information.

Thank you to Malden News Network for the nice writeup!

“Any chance you got to visit the start of the Malden Summer Festivals season? Fern Remedi-Brown was giving plants away and talking about the non-profit Sowing Opportunities, Inc. Their mission is ‘to cultivate self-sustainability, education, and wellness in rural Guatemala – one village at a time.'”
