Thank you to everyone who came out and made our CFP Earth Day event so special!! 🌎💚
From our incredible vendors and community partners—with a special thanks to Alan Newton from the URI Master Gardener Program for his amazing presentation on bees and pollinators—to everyone who showed up (rain and all!)—we’re so grateful. Junk in the Trunk took a chance on the weather, but that’s New England for you! Days like this are what community is all about! 🫶
