Garden*Hood's Garden Star Saturdays - March 20 Kick Off

[Shannon Sanders]

Awarded “Best New Plant Source” by Atlanta Magazine, Grant Park’s Garden*Hood welcomes Spring with a series of events showcasing the very best plants, expertise, creativity and atmosphere.

On Saturday, March 20, 11 am – 3 pm experienced and novice gardeners can learn from the best when Garden*Hood kicks off its Garden Star Saturdays with rare plant explorer Scott McMahan and acclaimed garden designer David McMullin.  This is not another boring lecture, but a one-on-one chat with garden “celebrities.”  Look for more Garden Star Saturdays throughout the Spring.

Other opportunities for gardeners to “Start Fresh” this Spring include: Plant Atlanta Day (April 17) the Good Food Festival (May 1) and the Funky Garden Art Show (June 20).

Open Wednesday-Sunday, 10 am - 6 pm, Garden*Hood is located at 347-353 Boulevard, Atlanta, GA 30312 (the entrance gate is on Woodward Avenue). For more information, visit www.gardenhoodatlanta.com and become a Fan of Garden*Hood Atlanta on Facebook.
