Well, yesterday's market marks the close of our
4th successful Winter Market season.
We thank you all so much for your support!
Our vendors are gearing up for opening day of the outdoor market.
It's been our tradition to open up outside on Mother's Day every year
and as always we'll have free seedlings for all Mother's.
So bring your Mom by the market and we'll have a special treat for her.
Seedlings are compliments of market vendor, The River Garden.
Reminder that the deadline to apply for our scholarship is May 10th.
