This free two-day event, held at the west side picnic loop, features regional plant societies, local artists who specialize in garden art, and garden-related authors.

The public is invited to take a stroll along the trails while also visiting a variety of booths to learn more about regional plant societies and local pet adoption organizations. Garden-related art, books, and plants will be available for purchase. As in past years, this event includes live music, food concessions, and special activities for children.
