Waterville community Sunflower Project set to bloom

TURNER PUBLISHING • June 12, 2021

Sunflower Project has launched, a collaborative community-wide initiative designed to engage everyone from novice gardeners to experienced horticulturists in creating moments of sunshine in the urban landscape, feeding local birds and wildlife and providing pollinating stations for bees. The Sunflower Project, sponsored by Waterville Creates, kicks off with free seedlings, an inaugural flower-planting and a reading of “The Sunflower House,” by Eve Bunting at the first Art in the Park from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, June 17, held in conjunction with the Waterville Farmers’ Market.
