Earth Day Garden Festival April 22
The Carson City Historical Society, along with the Mark Twain Garden Club, the Desert Gardeners and the Sierra Desert Garden Club, is holding a Garden Festival on Earth Day, Sunday, April 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The festivities will be in the Foreman-Roberts House Park at 1207 North Carson Street.
In addition to displays by the garden clubs, there will be a video presentation of the four seasons of Carson City gardens in the Carriage House.
The Bee Club will give a presentation and answer questions concerning beekeeping and the Green House Garden Center will be available for questions and information.
The Green House Project at Carson High will also be represented. The Foreman-Roberts House Museum will be open for free tours for the first time since it was damaged by fire in 2016.
There will be a raffle of 25 lovely gift baskets with the intriguing titles of “Never Promised You a Rose Garden...So Grow Succulents!!" “Gnome is Gardening,” and “Tote of Knowledge.”
Tickets for the raffle are $1 each or six for $5. Included in the raffle are gift certificates from Red’s Old 395 Grill, Due Sorella, The Green House Garden Center, Touched by Angels and others.
Vendors will also be selling antiques, collectibles and crafts at a flea market on Rice Street adjacent to the Foreman-Roberts House Park.
Food and drinks will be available from John Hurzel’s Nevada Nosh Food Truck. For more information contact Paula Cannon at 775-887-8865.
