SAVE THE DATE for the 35th Mother's Day Weekend Garden Fair. May 10th and 11th 2025!
We thank you for your support of our 2024 Garden Fair that brought more than 7,300 people from across the region to Blandy during this Mother's Day tradition event. Visitors had a blast, mingling with other garden enthusiasts, listening to music, enjoying food and drink and of course shopping and learning with the 60 vendors, businesses, and environmental nonprofits from across the state of Virginia who came to sell their products and provide environmental education outreach. We thank our many volunteers who contributed more than 560 hours to help make our biggest fundraiser of the year a success. Together, your support helped us raise nearly $80,000 that will be used to fund vital initiatives at Blandy including innovative public programming, enlightening interpretation to our garden collections, thought-provoking scientific inquiry, and eyeopening education. We look forward to seeing you again next Mother's Day weekend for another great event!
Vendor applications for Garden Fair 2025 will be emailed to previous vendors in early 2025! For more information, contact Melanie Mullinax at mmullinax@virginia.edu
