If you’re like me, then you can never have enough plants! Simply put, I love plants and they make me happy. As you can imagine, I often find myself wandering the aisles in local garden centers looking for striking new plants or, even more so to my liking, great pollinator plants! Simply walking through aisles upon aisles of plant matter brings me joy, which is why I look forward to the annual Marion County Master Gardener Spring Festival!
Celebrating its 28th year, the Marion County Master Gardener Spring Festival is always the second weekend of March and has become a community favorite that draws more than 10,000 individuals to attend each year! It is the area’s largest all-in-one horticultural expo!
This year, there will be more than 110 booths, with several of them specializing in natives, pollinator plants and Florida-friendly landscaping. Additionally, succulents, roses, vegetable seedlings, fruit trees and house plants are just a few of the many other types of plants you will find at the festival!
