Harvest Festival 2011 Is Coming!

Activity is gearing up here at Ferda’s Garden Center for our annual Harvest Festival. We’re finalizing the list of outside vendors, planning advertising, cleaning and redecorating some areas. And of course, great new product is coming in.

Adorable pumpkin decorating kits have arrived, more flags will be here this week, and the new Yankee Candle scents are expected next week.

When is it? Glad you asked!

It will take place on Saturday, September 17th and Sunday, September 18th, 2011 during our regular hours. There will be free food both days, activities for kids and adults on Saturday, music by the wonderful Uncle Eddie and Robin Band on Sunday. Most of the outside vendors will be here both days, but some for only one, so call ahead if you are looking forward to seeing someone special so you don’t miss them!

Ahhh, August

Isn’t it great that the weather has moderated for a while? The heat and humidity was getting to me, and I’ll bet to you, too. Now that I can stand to be outside during the day, I’ve begun weeding again, and replacing mulch.

And don’t forget the next meeting of the Homesteaders group will take place on Saturday, August 27 at 11:00 AM here at the garden center. Don Feenerty will show us how to make a rain barrel (and one lucky attendee will take it home!) and we’ll be talking about how to use up the bumper crops we’re getting from our gardens about now.

Garden Photo Contest
