Ferry-Morse Celebrates National Gardening Day with Annual “Garden Get-Together” Facebook Live

Virtual event celebrates the joy of cooking garden-to-table recipes for fresh flavor, nutritious ingredients, and substantial savings

Ferry-Morse, one of the leading and oldest gardening seed brands in the United States, part of the Central Garden & Pet Company portfolio (NASDAQ: CENT) (NASDAQ: CENTA), announces its annual Garden Get-Together will take place on Tuesday, April 9 on Facebook Live. The event is free and will begin at 2:00PM EST on the Ferry-Morse Facebook page.

Just in time for National Gardening Day on April 14, the event will share inspirational gardening tips and fresh, garden-to-table recipes made with ingredients grown from Ferry-Morse’s collection of seeds and plants. The virtual event invites gardeners, home chefs, and foodies alike to enjoy interactive demonstrations hosted by popular creators as well as Ferry-Morse’s gardening experts.

"It’s no secret that cooking with fresh ingredients can take a homecooked meal from good to great, which is why we’re excited to bring our team and partners together to help everyone reach their culinary goals this season," said Rebecca Sears, CMO & Resident Green Thumb at Ferry-Morse. "Delicious vegetables, fruits, and herbs should be accessible to all, and together we’ll talk about how gardeners of all levels can grow an abundance of produce for a fraction of the cost of store-bought."

As event host, Sears, who is gardening in Zone 6b this season, will be joined by special guests Brian Brigantti of Redleaf Ranch, gardening in Tennessee in Zone 7b and Caitlin Shoemaker of From My Bowl, gardening in Washington in Zone 8b.

Ferry-Morse will feature its new Colossal Collection which includes seed varieties that will grow vegetables at least double the average size – or double the yield – for extra flavor and value; an expanded line of USDA-certified Organic vegetable, fruit, and herb seeds; and the brand’s popular Plantlings™ collection, which offers live baby vegetable, fruit, and herb plants delivered directly from Ferry-Morse’s nursery to front doors.
