The 39th annual Spring Garden Fair will be held Saturday, April 26, from 10 am – 5 pm and Sunday, April 27, from 12 – 5 pm at Exchange Place Living History Farm, 4812 Orebank Road in Kingsport. The oldest garden fair in the region and a favorite among gardeners, the festival will feature thousands of plants for sale - perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs - with the emphasis on natives, herbs and heirlooms (including a wide variety of heirloom tomatoes), along with garden related arts and crafts. Visitors will see heritage breeds of animals and spring activities on a mid-nineteenth century farmstead, as volunteers shear the sheep, spin and weave the wool, cook on the hearth, and shape iron over the forge. Children's activities abound as volunteers help children create plant and nature crafts and learn gardening skills. Live local bands and old timey foods add to the experience. Admission is $5 for adults and free for children under 12.
