Aquatic Connections and Sara's Superb Herbs Raise Money for Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks


Aquatic Connections Now Carries Sara’s Superb Herbs as a Part of their Gardening Gives Back Program! It is easy to Grow Your Own Herbs & Cook at Home!

In the summer of 2000 Pride’s Corner Farm had a dream of creating a quality plant, while giving something back to the community. The result was a line of beautiful gallon size plants known as “Sara’s Superb Herbs.” Now, fifty cents from every plant purchased at Aquatic Connections goes directly to Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks in Hebron, CT.

Since 2000, Sara’s Superb Herbs have raised over $200,000 for the programs and services of Easter Seals Connecticut-Rhode Island. Easter Seals Camp Hemlocks is a 160 acre modern, barrier free camp for children and adults with disabilities and special needs. Here they are able to conquer their fears, realize their dreams and strive to reach their highest potential in an environment which encourages independence and self reliance.

American Beauties at Aquatic Connections


Aquatic Connections now sells American Beauties and donates to the National Wildlife Federation. American Beauties are native plants which can be found along the East Coast States. The plants in the program are chosen specifically by the National Wildlife Federation. Native plants are environmentally friendly and provide food and shelter for wildlife. American Beauties attract birds and butterflies. They are chosen because they are low maintenance plants with few disease problems. American Beauties proudly supports the National Wildlife Federation's Certified Wildlife Habitat program. Join thousands of other gardeners who have been recognized for creating backyard habitats.
