The 13th Annual Incredible Edible Plant Give-Away took place May 31, 2025, with free vegetable and herb seedlings handed out at four locations across Cornwall and Long Sault.
Organized by the Food Action Group of Transition Cornwall+, the event encourages home gardening, healthy eating, and community resilience.
Volunteer Tish Gibbs helped grow over 200 of the roughly 3,000 plants shared this year. “Most of these plants had to be started a couple of months ago with proper lighting and planning,” said Gibbs. “Even one tomato plant can feed a family all summer with sandwiches.”
She added that many kids were excited to take home plants: “It’s the kids who say, ‘Come on, Mom and Dad, we want to go pick a plant.’ That’s the best part-getting people enthused about growing their own food.”
The event is supported by the Social Development Council of Cornwall and Area and local partners including Marlin Orchards and the Kinsmen Farmers’ Market.
