The Garden Faire

The first weekend of May was the annual Garden Faire. I learned about it the year before covid and then they stopped having it - so this was my first year!

I was going to post my awesome finds, but a horrendous bout with asthma put me a wee bit behind - But here it is now!

It was a bit rainy, but I got lucky. The big downpour started just as I was leaving. I brought my trusty gorilla cart and waited in the long line. 

As I got in I thought I'd go up and down all the isles and see what they had first. But I found a beautiful clematis for the gazebo. And there was more!

I found the raffle ticket booth and got ten tickets. There was supposed to be two drawings in the time that I was there but, unfortunately, they had some technical difficulties and it didn't happen. I gave my tickets to a young family on my way out. I hope they won something!

After I thought I was finished, I went over to the food area and had a delicious carnitas taco! 

As I was leaving, I realized I miss a whole section!! So - off I went. And left with irises and an orchid!

All in all, it was a great day. I had a lot of fun and found some awesome plants (and a great solar mushroom light!). Things weren't less expensive than a nursery, but there were a lot of unusual plants and some gorgeous garden art. 

I will be there next year!

Here are some great things for gardening - a gift to you or a friend!
