Green, a nonprofit dedicated to mobilizing millions of people to

Movement.
“Our mission to empower people to grow their own food is made

Announcing 2022 Ferry-Morse Spring Plantlings™
Ferry-Morse is also officially launching this season’s
Plantlings collection, over 100 varieties of healthy baby plants
available for pre-order for delivery direct from the Ferry-Morse
nursery to front doors. Helping gardeners skip the seed-starting
phase and get one step closer to outdoor planting when the weather
warms, Plantlings come with established root systems to help yield
a more successful and healthier garden. With a variety that ranges
from vegetable, herb, flower, fruit and shrub, there’s something
for every gardener – from the urban dweller with a tiny windowsill
to the green thumb with an acre of backyard oasis.
New this year, Ferry-Morse is introducing its PlantlingsPlus
line of larger sized tree and shrub Plantlings in four-inch pots,
including Hydrangeas and Azaleas as well as foliage and indoor
plants such as Pothos and Spider Plants. New flower Plantlings also
joining the collection this year include Impatiens, Lantana and
Verbena. All Plantlings are available for pre-order now and begin
shipping March 14.
Digital Resources and Rewards
During Ferry-Morse’s Garden Get-Together, the brand will
announce its new referral and rewards program, as well as a
personalization quiz designed to provide gardeners with all of the
information they need to reap more success with their garden
goals.
