This year, organizers said eight families have invited the public to tour their private gardens. Gardens represent “a mix of garden designs incorporating common and unusual plants and beautiful outdoor living spaces,” according to a press release.

The Garden & Art Fair will offer booths by over 20 exhibitors. These exhibitors include: vendors of native plants, garden plants, and hostas; artists selling paintings and garden art, including a sculptor working in copper; garden related gifts; activities for children; and nonprofit organizations from the world of conservation of native spaces and environmental concerns.
