If you need a little motivational boost to get outside and do some spring sprucing up of your yard, head to Walter Fuller Park to the 24th Annual Green Thumb Festival. The festival runs Saturday and Sunday from 9AM to 4PM. This festival is our combination Earth Day/Arbor Day celebration, free for all to enter, look, and, if you like, buy. There are educational sessions, auctions, $3 tree sales from the city (including turkey oak, live oak, maple, elm, southern red cedar, and more). There are over 100 vendors selling all kinds of plants and trees imaginable, plus music, food, and fresh air. Location of the park is 7891 26th Ave N, off 22nd Avenue N a little west of Tyrone Square Mall. This is a great way to greet Springtime in St. Petersburg!
Beautiful plants. This is the grandest plant fair of all.
I know that man in the center of the second shot. He’s the proprietor of the Gulf Coast Garden center on Haines Road. I see him almost everyday. Oh and great blog, Bob. I’ve really enjoyed it so far. Found the link on one of Rutie’s posts on FB.
