Gardeners will delight in the wide selection of plants available for sale, as well as garden books, pottery, tools, art, gifts, ornamental garden pieces and much more.
Educational displays by the Bonsai, Orchid, and Daylily societies will be featured along with the Lafayette Garden Club, which will present their judged flower show themed "A Spring Florafest."
Several door prizes will be awarded every hour, and be sure to take a chance on the drawing for a great prize.
