ngf_nelson_garden_festival_big.jpgYou know it’s spring when…Baker Street closes down for the Nelson Garden Festival!  If the sights and smells of spring are making your fingers itch to play in the soil, you’ll find all the inspiration you need at the Nelson Garden Festival.  Starting off with presentations and workshops by local master gardeners at the Anglican Church on May 9, then followed up by a community celebration of gardening on May 10, it’s no wonder the Garden Festival has become a favourite spring tradition.  Come and browse the stalls of plants, garden art, crafts, garden furniture and other items related to gardens and gardening, then go home and garden!
