It's Canby's 28th Annual Spring Garden Fair Time! May 5th & 6th, 2012

It's that time again to set aside a few hours this weekend to head down to the Canby 28thAnnual Spring Garden Fair at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds. 

I can easily spend 3 or more hours here walking up and down perusing all the 200 plus vendors with booths full of every kind of plant imaginable. Not only will you find some great plants, you can get many of them straight from the grower.

I've found varieties of flowers and plants that you can't find in the garden centers. Oh..and garden art? I'm a sucker for garden art. I just love it! There are many classes planned through out both days and master gardeners on hand to answer your questions. They even have lots of volunteers that will pull a wagon for you to retrieve all your plants purchased and haul them out to your car if you don't have a wagon..or just don't feel like pulling one. Of course I like to throw them a nice tip as they're usually fundraising for something...but you don't have to.

Make sure you where some good walking shoes and wear layers. The ground can be a bit muddy in certain areas, and if the day is sunny..it get's warm fast.

**Tip, if you can hold out until late Sunday afternoon, you'll get some really great deals as many of the vendors don't want to haul it all home. Of course...you don't get the varieties and choices that you'll find Saturday...but if you love deals (and who doesn't) that would be a good time.
