Flowers for Mom
Spring has sprung, and Mother’s Day is coming fast! The first market of the season opens on May 7, the day before Mom’s special day, and we’ll have lots of beautiful flowers to choose from.
Most mothers love flowers, and you’ll find great gifts, whether you’re looking for hanging baskets or plants for Mom’s flowerbed. Jane Prater and Shawn West of “The Garden” offer perennials and annuals, as well as extra-sturdy shepherd’s hook plant hangers. Penny Carroll brings a wide variety of perennials from her own garden to the market, including daylilies, ornamental grass, buttercups, and ferns. Siegrist Farms has a great selection of colorful hanging baskets, including petunias, impatiens, vining geraniums, begonias, and more. The Troendlys of Victorian Rose Farm specialize in coleus, tuberous begonias, mixed planters, and unusual perennials.
Look for early-season produce as well, like asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce, spinach, and radishes, fresh from local gardens. Come early to get the best selection! You’ll also find delicious homemade pies, cookies, and candies, as well as jams and jellies. See you at the market!
