Those who wish to add some pizzazz to their yards are in luck.
Last weekend, the annual Garden Fest was held in downtown Plant City. Those who missed the event, however, need not fret: the Fall 2020 Plant Fest is right around the corner.
Whether you’re searching for annuals, perennials, trees, fruit, fall and winter vegetables, herbs, vines or other unique vegetation, the Plant City Commons Community Garden, 2001 E. Cherry St., will be a one-stop-shop for outdoor beautification .
The event will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 3. That morning, the garden will also host a raised earth box workshop for those who reserved a spot. The workshop will teach attendees how to build their own table-height garden.
Despite the pandemic, the PCCCG has been running strong. The massive garden is the perfect place to social distance outside while still giving the opportunity for garden members to socialize. The seedling workshop just a few weeks ago was a massive success and the group’s calendar is full with unique activities for the next few months. Whether you’re looking to volunteer in the gardens, utilize the seed library, do yoga in the garden, participate in a one-of-a-kind workshop or take part in a fundraiser, there are numerous ways to get involved.
