The Ministry of Agriculture and Lands, Forestry, Marine Resources and Cooperatives is pleased to announce an earlier opening of the Plant Distribution Season on 17 June 2025.
The favourable weather conditions, combined with the dedication and hard work of staff at the various propagation stations, have enabled the ministry to create an optimal growing environment for plantlets. As a result, farmers and home gardeners can benefit from an early start to the planting season.
An official ceremony to mark the opening of the season will be held on 17 June 2025, at the Mirabeau Propagation Station at 9 am. Following the opening of the season, farmers and gardeners will be able to purchase the high quality, subsidised plantlets, including fruit trees, ornamentals and spices from government propagation stations located at:
- Mirabeau and Boulogne in St Andrew
- Ashenden in St David
- Maran in St John
The sale of plants will continue until supplies last. The ministry also informs that the sale of citrus varieties will commence later in 2025. For more information, please contact the Ministry of Agriculture on 440-2708.
