Suzanne Ford, MGHC president comments, “The Hamilton County Master Gardeners are excited to hold a Fall Garden Festival – our second outdoor gardening event for the public. Since there's no County Fair this year, we decided to create a one-day outdoor event at the Hamilton County Ag Center & Bonny Oaks Arboretum for Master Gardeners to share their gardening expertise through exhibits and demonstrations. In addition, there will be a selection of vendors with plants, trees and shrubs, plus foods, yard art and other items, as well as fun and educational activities for children. Proceeds from the Fall Festival support our Scholarship Fund and Community Garden Grants program. We know that interest in gardening has grown in recent years. Our mission is “We Teach You How,” and we look forward to meeting and educating the many interested gardeners in our area.”
