Happening on Saturday, browse from over 80 local growers, florists and vendors — focusing on flower growers, designers, gardeners, bee and butterfly advocates, horticultural organisations, non-GMO seed companies and hobbyists. Whether you want to pick up a fresh bouquet of blooms to deliver to Mom or a beautiful ceramic planter for your home, this colourful market will have it all.
