Come to the Garden Faire
9:00 to 5:00, June 25, 2011, in Skypark, Scotts Valley
Celebrating Abundance
Welcome to the sixth annual Garden Faire, hosted for the second time by the California Native Garden Foundation!
The Garden Faire 2011 will be from 9:00 to 5:00 on Saturday, June 25, 2011, in Scotts Valley’s Skypark.
Our 2011 theme, “Celebrating Abundance,” acknowledges how fortunate we are to be gardeners in a place and time that abounds with healthful fruits and vegetables, and refreshes our spirits with beauty in the garden.
The Garden Faire will again be a free admission, educational event under clusters of canopies on Skypark’s grassy fields.
Here's What's New This Year!
- A free Gardeners’ Exchange! Exchange what you bring for something you want to take home. Stop by a few times to see what's come in.
- Plants of all kinds (from cuttings to full size)
- garden books
- garden and pond supplies
- pots and tools
- garden accents
- Ecology Modules - Rainwater, Graywater, Compost, Bio-diversity, and Native Plants
- Special post-Faire event on Sunday, June 26, 9:30am: Medicinal Plant Walk led by Cecilia Garcia and Jim Adams. (Details on the Speakers page.)
And the great Garden Faire experiences you expect:
- Speakers and expert demonstrations on aspects of sustainable gardening
- Vendors of garden plants and garden-related goods and services
- Informative and educational exhibits by local groups
- Vendors of healthful food and entertainment to add to the festive atmosphere
- Activities for children and families
We welcome both not-for-profit groups and local garden-oriented businesses to bring their unique views and special expertise to this educational event. The Faire will be a fine opportunity for them to offer their garden goods and services and share their messages to an interested and receptive audience.
We invite all home gardeners to join this celebration of sustainable gardening and landscaping. Mark your calendar for The Garden Faire and watch this website for updated information.
