March 20 is the vernal equinox, marking the beginning of spring. In New England, the weather begins to moderate, the first flowers push through the soil, and daylight stretches a little longer each day.

Gardening Expo, including seedling sale pickup & local vendors; with gardening tips, barn tours, and views of the photo exhibit.
