Saturday May 1st, from 9 am to 2 pm, the City Market hosted a Flower Frenzy Festival as part of the Farm to Table Festival Series. The Flower Frenzy was an event where the greenhouses got a chance to shine. People were especially encouraged to come out to check out what they had to offer and ask questions about what to plant for the season.
For the kids, there were some fun activities as well. There was a flower toss, a flower pot seed spit and a flower frisbee game. We partnered with 105.1 Jack FM between 10 am and 12 pm. Kids planted seeds, made bookmarks with flower petals and created paper flowers. Wonderscope Children's Museum provided kids' activities and Mother Nature was on hand for storytelling. The Agriculture Hall of Fame was at the City Market as well. Freebies to the first 250 people were wildflower seed packets which had the Farm to Table Festival dates listed on the back.
