Events

The GPMGA Spring Gardenfest is a free, family-friendly event that celebrates all things related to gardening, hosted by the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners Association.  Wild Ones Greater Richmond Virginia Chapter is proud to be among the informational exhibitors. 

In addition to educational programs (some of the presenters are also Wild Ones chapter members!), dozens of informational and vendor booths will be available to browse, shop, and explore--and a plant sale (including native plants) caps it all off.  

Attending the educational programs requires a paid registration--and registration closes on April 14. To register, see the link below. 

The vendor exhibits and plant sale are free/open to the public and do not require registration. 

Chapter members are encouraged to attend this festival and, if you enjoy "talking native plants," to sign up for a shift at our exhibit table.  A signup link will be sent to chapter members by email soon.

Join us for a joyful celebration of the season at the Milwaukee Public Market's very first Festival of Flowers, taking place Saturday, May 3 from 11am to 3pm at Riverwalk Commons, right across from the Milwaukee Public Market.

Wild Ones National Board Secretary Jermey Rappaport will present on how people can help support a healthy planet by transitioning away from traditional lawns and gardens to more sustainable alternatives featuring native plants. 

This free, family-friendly event is bursting with color, fragrance, and fun! Explore a vibrant flower market featuring locally grown blooms and botanicals perfect for brightening your home or garden. Enjoy live music from local artists as you wander, shop, and relax along the riverfront.

Bring the whole family- there’s something for everyone! From interactive activities for kids to garden-inspired crafts, the Festival of Flowers is designed to delight visitors of all ages. Grown-ups can savor seasonal beverages, while everyone can dig into a variety of tasty eats from local food vendors.

Whether you're a plant enthusiast, music lover, or just looking for a fresh way to spend your Saturday, the Festival of Flowers is the perfect spring outing.
