The distribution of the 2021 FIA Shrubbery vouchers has ended
Due to an overwhelming interest from Fairhaven residents the FIA has distributed all 100 vouchers allocated for 2021.
If you have already received your voucher you can redeem it at Kenny’s Garden & Landscape center, 325 Huttleston Ave., Fairhaven until September 30, 2021.
For $20.00, you will receive a voucher for double the amount – $40.00 – to purchase any combination of the following shrubbery at Kenny’s Farm Stand, 325 Huttleston Avenue, Fairhaven:
Andromeda, Azalea, Boxwood, Butterfly Bush, Dogwood, Holly, Hydrangea, Lilac, Magnolia, PJM, Rhododendron, Viburnum and Wisteria
If you use your voucher before July 1, 2021, Kenny has offered to add another $10.00 allowance to your doubled voucher giving you a total of $50.00 in buying power at his nursery.
To take advantage of this program send a check for $20.00 with a self-addressed stamped envelope to:
The Fairhaven Improvement Association
P.O. Box 404
Fairhaven, MA 02719
The voucher is valid from May 1, 2021 until September 30, 2021.
The voucher may be used for the shrubbery listed only. It may not be used for any other merchandise in the nursery. It cannot be exchanged for cash.
