This year’s sale will be bigger and better than ever with a wide selection of flowers, plants and vegetables just in time for gardening season and Mother’s Day.

There will also be lots of free and fun activities for the whole family including raffles to win gardening prizes, crafts and children’s activities, workshops and gardening demonstrations plus vendor booths providing information and a variety of products for sale.
