On Saturday at 10:15 a.m., all stores will host a free spring vegetable and herb clinic. Throughout the day, other food gardening events will be held including prize drawings from sponsors – Chef Jeff and Blue Label Herbs. Garden gift cards will also be awarded, and garden experts will be available to offer tips and advice.
