Spring is the season for fresh baby greens!

Spring greens are in peak season at Aurelia’s Garden. Our volunteer grown seedlings are taking off in the field and should provide many weeks of fresh and nutritious donations to Open Table of Maynard.

Our volunteers have been hard at work growing seedlings for Aurelia’s Garden. With our goal to grow over 2000 pounds of produce this year, we need hundreds of plants to fill the fields, and numerous volunteers to nurture the plants from seed to field and beyond. Many thanks to the Aurelia’s Garden Clerk, Nancy, for her gorgeous tray of seedlings.

Whether raw in a salad, a stir-fry, gently braised, or steamed to perfection, baby greens are the perfect source of a multitude of vitamins and minerals. And with so many different varieties with flavors ranging from sweet to spicy, tangy to bitter, there is a perfect spring green for every meal.
