Festival of Flowers flourishes again

Another event is rising from the pandemic ashes after a three-year hiatus. This time it’s the Festival of Flowers — and it’s bursting back onto the gardening scene Saturday, June 3!

The daylong event, now in its 23rd year, features seminars with gardening experts and an indoor mall blooming with plants and landscaping materials.

Make your first stop the SAWS Conservation Station where you’ll get a free xeriscape plant (while supplies last, of course). Next, pop in to one of the how-to gardening seminars and the Organic Roundtable for tons of tips and tricks for landscaping success.

Also making a comeback is the Herb Cooking Kitchen for delicious fare and the “learn to garden” kid zone where the little ones can get their green thumbs growing.

And don’t forget to bring plants from your garden to swap at the famously fun plant exchange!
