Plymouth County 4-H Sunflower Project
The Plymouth County Extension 4-H program sponsors a FREE 4-H Sunflower Project. This 4-H Plant Science Project is being offered to Plymouth County children ages 5-18. In addition to receiving the seeds and planting instructions each youth participant has the opportunity to enter the 4-H Sunflower Contest at the East Middleboro 4-H Fair on Labor Day Weekend.
How do I get free seeds?
Plymouth County 4-H sends seeds with instructions to classrooms throughout Plymouth County. If you would like your class to participate in the Growing Sunflower Project please contact Valerie at vschell@umext.umass.edu or 774-404-7022.
