From handcrafted garden decor to the latest in gardening technology, there was something to pique the interest of every attendee. These vendors provided the perfect complement to the plant sales, ensuring that visitors left with both the plants and the tools they needed to succeed in their gardening endeavors.
Families enjoyed the numerous children’s activities, designed to educate and entertain young visitors. Craft stations, interactive displays, and gardening games ensured that kids had a memorable and educational experience. The event’s family-friendly approach made it a popular outing for parents and children alike, fostering a love for nature and gardening in the younger generation.
