WABASH, Ind. – The Wabash Garden Festival committee is making plans for the 21st annual event on Saturday, August 18th from 9am to 3pm. This year the event will once again be held at Paradise Spring Historical Park, and is sponsored by Metal Source Recycling, LLC.
The public is invited to shop at over 40 vendor booths with herbs, flowers, plants, recycled magic, crafts, landscaping, art, jewelry, and garden decor. There will also be many local specialty food booths.
Here is Diane Morris:
“Fabulous vendors, great food, kids tent, there’s so much going on that weekend you just won’t believe it. So come on down to Paradise Springs August 18th!”
Another returning event is the Chair Affair, sponsored exclusively by Guenin Law, a charity event raising funds for 85 Hope and T.A.D.A. (Teens Against Dating Abuse) in Association with Hands of Hope. This booth will be filled with chairs that have been decorated, refurbished, recycled, and repurposed. Don’t miss seeing some fantastic ideas and uses for chair.
Starting at 9:30am, Garden Fest will be offering free programs for all visitors. The first is a Berry Grape Talk with Jason McClure from McClure Orchard.
