The February meeting of the Garden Club of the Back Bay will be held online this year on February 24 at 10 am. Paul Sellew, President and CEO, will share the story of Little Leaf Farms. At Little Leaf Farms, they are committed to delivering the freshest, best tasting baby greens to New England salad lovers all year round. The greenhouse is based in Devens, Massachusetts, allowing them to deliver products to stores within a day of harvest. This is very different from the majority of lettuce, that is grown on the West Coast, and spends a week traveling by truck to Massachusetts local stores. To rsvp, click HERE
