We are giving away 100 free packets of sunflower seeds, along with an informational brochure about how these plants can remediate lead-contaminated soils!

WHEN? Tuesday, June 7th at the Old North End Farmer's Market between 3-6:30PM across from HO Wheeler school, where Archibald, Spring & Walnut Streets intersect.

WHY? According to the Burlington Lead Program, more than 80% of homes in Burlington and Winooski have lead-based paint hazards, and toxic lead levels can accumulate in the soils surrounding the house. Plants like sunflowers can remove lead from the soil cheaply and effectively. Come find out how and get a free packet of sunflowers for your home!
