Join us at Heathcote this weekend for the
30th Annual Garden Festival
This year’s Garden-Fest includes a variety of plant and flower vendors, garden supplies, garden arts & crafts, children’s activities, refreshments, demonstrations and more.
Visitors will gain insights of conservation efforts and take away ideas that can be put to work in their home gardens.
Get advice, ask questions or stop by to chat. Ask the experts!
