Tractor Supply Co. at 72 Newton St. in Greenfield is hosting two events on Saturday, April 20. The first event will be a backyard poultry event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., where customers can learn how to care for and manage an at-home flock. According to Robert Ryczek, the manager of the Greenfield Tractor Supply store, the popularity of raising backyard poultry continues to grow. Many people love the convenience of getting fresh eggs right from their own backyard but don’t know where to start. The goal of the event is to provide anyone interested in raising a backyard flock with the resources and information needed to do so. Expert event partners will be present to provide guidance, and Tractor Supply will have starter kits, feeders, bedding, heat bulbs and lamps, coops, and more available for purchase.
The second event, the Plant-a-Seed event, will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event offers young gardeners a hands-on opportunity to learn the basics of gardening. Children can visit the store to plant a perennial butterfly garden, while supplies last. A team member will be on hand to guide the children in the activity and provide tips on nurturing and caring for their garden. Participants can take their seeds home to monitor their growth and watch as butterflies are attracted to the garden as it flourishes. The event aims to educate and inspire younger customers through interactive learning experiences and help them discover their interests and hobbies.
