For Central Floridian gardeners, this is a don't miss. Features Plant Street in Winter Garden completely covered with nursery vendors. Bring your garden carts, cash and be ready to enjoy a lovely afternoon or morning in Winter Garden with festival food, live music, tons of plant specimens and sales, tours of Roper's hydroponic gardens and sidewalk chalk art contests.
Souvenirs from past years:
- Thornless blackberry bush
- Multiple citrus labels
- Great food from Harry & Larry's
Parking: generally free, but crowded. Note that in years past there have been some loading/unloading zones where you can put all of your plant specimens and then drive 'round to get them.
Atmosphere: like a small town, home town festival. It gets very crowded around lunch time and early afternoon.
Other: Stroller and Dog friendly in years past; completely paved surfaces for easy navigation.
