WABASH, Ind. – The Wabash Garden Festival committee is making plans for the 20th annual event on Saturday, August 19th from 9am to 3pm. This year they are opening it up to more vendors and will once again hold the event at Paradise Spring Park for plenty of space and a laid-back feel.
Everything you have known and love about the festival will be there with the addition of a bigger variety of vendors featuring everything from yard and garden equipment to mowers and tillers to landscaping ideas and arts and crafts.
Lisa Betzner, Co-Chairman of the Garden Fest, said “This year we’ll focus on recycling and making yard art, both practical and decoration, out of recycled garbage, old furniture, metals, wood, etc.”
Betzner went on to say she “hopes this year will include a wider variety of vendors to show off their landscaping, recycling and upcycling, outdoor kitchens, restoration projects and more to the community and to teach them to look for the art and usefulness in typically discarded materials.”
Approximately 500 to 800 visitors have visited the festival in recent years. And most of these visitors stay at the festival for three or four hours at a time, looking at the wares the vendors are displaying, eating lunch and checking out the chairs at the ever-popular Chair Affair.
Kids Programs will also return in the Wee Garden where children can make their own crafts and take them home.
