Saturday May 30th 9a.m. to 3 p.m. – Rain or Shine
Held in Parking Lot R-3
 on Carrier Drive
across from the Arboretum
Free admission and parking!

Come join us for central Shenandoah Valley’s finest festival for herbs and flowers.   Whether you’re a garden lover or professional landscape contractor, browse displays of the area’s premier vendors and nurseries.  Enjoy a free lecture with a guest speaker from the Virginia Flora Project.  Unlike other major venue plant sales, don’t pay parking and admission.  Keep your hard earned spendable income for blooming plants, shrubs, trees, and garden accessories purchases! Your garden shopping experience won’t be typical.  You’ll find everything from natives (including an orchid specialty vendor), to a bamboo vendor who will display his plants plus give a ‘how-to’ talk on growing bamboo as a ‘green’ cash crop.  There’ll be plenty of culinary and medicinal herbs to shop from too.  Don’t miss the 8th Annual Herb and Garden Festival!  Call (540) 568-3194 or email turnbugl@jmu.edu for more information or details to become a vendor.
