Everything Garden Expo

Gardeners, take heart.  Winter may be bearing down, but spring will be ushered in early this year. The Starkville Area Arts Council will again team up with Mississippi State University to present the 4th annual “Everything Garden Expo.” It is set for March 24-25, 2012, at the Mississippi Horse Park on the MSU campus. Show hours are 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Saturday, March 24; and 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday, March 25.   Admission is $5 per person, and children 6 and under will be admitted free.

Organizers are planning an event to offer both hobby and professional gardeners the latest in products and growing techniques.  There will be seminars led by the region’s leading garden authorities.  Be watching for a complete schedule of events and educational seminars. Special programs for children are also in the works.

"This is Northeast Mississippi's premier garden show featuring a broad array of vendors, showing and selling their new garden wares," said Jane Loveless, co-chair for the 2010 event. "Mississippi State University is widely known for its horticulture and landscape architecture programs," said Loveless. "This is the perfect place to conduct a regional garden Expo which appeal to gardeners from throughout the Mid-south."
