The Williamson Co Gardener’s Association is teaming with the Franklin Farmers Market for the 2017 Garden Festival on May 7th from 10a-4pm at The Factory in Franklin.

Admission for the Festival is free. The Garden Festival is being held to support the WCMGA’s mission of providing and encouraging educational leadership for better horticulture practices and environmental stewardship in the community and providing an opportunity for everyone to enjoy and purchase plants and gardening related items to support the future WCMGA demonstration garden in Williamson County.

Speakers will be providing information on the hour between noon and 3.

Speakers for the 2017 Garden Festival include:

  • Amy Dismukes- Williamson County UT/TSU Extension Agent “Tomatoes: Disorder or Disease”
  • David Cook-Davidson County UT Extension Agent “ Organic Options in Pest Management”
  • Michael Steakley-Professional Floral Association of TN President “Floral Design”
  • Jerry Alldredge-Former Colorado Extension Agent “Families and Gardening”

In addition to these wonderful speakers, the WCMGA Master Gardeners will be holding the annual Plant Sale which will include many varieties of trees, flowers, herbs and other plants grown by our local Master Gardeners! The value and variety of these plants has always been a fun event for our community!

The Garden Shed will also be available for Garden Festival participants and is a community effort to recycle and reuse lawn and garden equipment, accessories and decorative items sponsored by WCMGA. Complete your lawn and garden needs at heavily discounted prices.

Many external vendors have been invited to participate in the 2017 Garden Festival and include food, local plant nurseries and providers, and arts and crafts. Mother’s Day is coming soon and there will be many options to remember your Mother on her special Day.
