PMG’s booth at the OTFM was relocated in 2024 to High Street, near the Commodore Theater. This move has been quite advantageous for us. We are in a more visible spot and are able to reach more members of the public to answer gardening questions and provide horticulture education.

In June, PMG’s made contact and shared information with 358 people at OTFM.

In June we reinstated the matching games that were successful in the past. June’s theme was pollinators and the game was to match pollinators with their preferred plants. We had prizes for participation including herbs, iris bulbs, tomatoes, and tote bags. Thanks to all our members who provided items to use a prizes.

We are working on a butterfly educational game for July as well as a spinning wheel game to institute in the future. We have purchased a fan for the tent. The A-frame chalk board is very helpful in advertising our presence at the market as well as future events we want to highlight.

We have handouts on the Library Talks, the Help Line and a sign-up sheet for people who are interested in Master Gardener training classes.

June was a great month at the market and we are looking forward to reaching more members of the public in July!
