EXPERT GARDENING ADVICE & TIPS
The festival, which opens at 10 a.m. and lasts until 3 p.m., will feature periodic Talks and Presentations throughout the day from Urban Gardening, Native Plant, and Permaculture experts. Learn more about planting and sustainable growing that will benefit your diet, health, and the environment through proven and regenerative best practices. Residents whose home gardens and landscaping suffered during Ian can get expert counsel on how to revive and restore.
SEEDS, SEEDLINGS, CUTTINGS & PLANTS FOR SALE AND EXCHANGE
It all begins with seeds! Local growers will offer seeds, seedlings, cuttings, and plants to swap and share their bounty with others – and some will donate to help community gardens that put food on the tables of those in need. Whether you are a family or community gardener or farmer, you’ll also enjoy those for sale from festival vendors. It’s a great way to shop local for the holidays.
MUSIC, FOOD & KIDS’ ACTIVITIES
Multiple local bands and food trucks will be entertaining festival goers and kids will enjoy hands-on gardening activities.
Attendance is free, but a donation of $5 at the gate is welcome and appreciated on event day.
