Spring Garden Fair
Spring Garden Fair
The oldest garden fair in the region, the Exchange Place Spring Garden Fair will feature thousands of plants for sale - perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs - with the emphasis on natives, herbs and heirlooms along with garden-related arts and crafts. Visitors will see heritage breeds of animals and demonstrations of traditional crafts and springtime activities on a mid-nineteenth century farmstead, such as sheep shearing, spinning, weaving, butter churning, broom making, corn shuck doll making and blacksmithing. Children's activities abound with opportunities to make nature crafts, weave a basket and learn gardening skills. Dancing around the Maypole will be on Saturday at 2 p.m. and on Sunday at 3 p.m. Enjoy baked goods and other food on site or to take home and listen to live music from local artists.
