All entries must be submitted to the Gathering between 10 and 11 a.m. on the day of the event. The Killingworth Farmers' Market will take place on the same day.
In May and June, free seeds will be available at the Town Office Building, 323 Route 81, Killingworth, and the Killingworth Library, 301 Route 81.
