It’s about Blooming Time!
Rutgers Master Gardeners of Mercer County’s annual Spring Plant Expo and Garden Market will be Saturday, May 6 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mercer Educational Gardens, 431A Federal City Road, Hopewell Township.
One of the most celebrated events of the year, the Expo will be on the grounds of Mercer County Stables. The event is held rain or shine! Free parking is on site.
This year’s Expo will feature the much sought after home-grown perennials, trees, and shrubs from the gardens of Rutgers Master Gardeners and a garden market with select vendors.
The vendors are Steven Kristoph Nursery, Millstone Township; Shannon’s Nursery, Doylestown, Pa.; Byrne Farm Market, Wrightstown; and Chickadee Creek Farm, Pennington. Additionally, the Master Gardeners are excited to announce the addition of a new vendor, Moon Shot Farm of East Windsor.
Meet these select growers and purchase a wide variety of native plants, woody ornamentals, perennials, annuals, tomatoes, veggies, herbs and cut flowers.
Plan to arrive early for the best selection! Rutgers Master Gardeners will be on hand to help you choose the right plant for the right place and will answer all your questions.
