The Garden Club at Palm Coast is anticipating a big centennial anniversary this month: its 11th Annual Spring Festival & Plant Sale is taking place Saturday, April 6th. The event is being held at Flagler Palm Coast High School, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Many of the club’s nearly 200 members will be in attendance, as well as scores of locals looking to see what all the fun is about.
Organizers are excited to present the biggest plant sale event in Palm Coast, as well as a number of other attractions such as arts and crafts, informative and educational exhibits, food, live music, raffles, and specialty plant growers. There will even be a selection of activities for kids to enjoy while their parents take in the festival.
“Our festival has been going on now for 11 years,” said Garden Club President Denise Garcia. “I’ve been running it nineyears with my team. We keep growing every year.” Beyond just joining in for a day of community unity, the festival will serve as a fundraiser for students to go to summer camps and college programs which will immerse them further into the world of gardening and the outdoors.
