Healthy Living - Healthy Gardening

The 2019 Fall Flower & Garden Fest will be October 11 & 12 at the Truck Crops Experiment Station in Crystal Springs, Mississippi. Crystal Springs is about 25 miles south of Jackson. Hours are from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. both days, and food vendors will have food and drinks available.

This is the largest home gardening show in the Southeast with average attendance of 5,000 people over the two-day event. Featured in the 3 acre garden are winners of the prestigious All-America Selections award. Admission and parking are free.

FOOD - There will be lots to choose from -- rib-eye steak sandwiches, catfish, chicken, pulled pork, hamburgers, corn dogs, and more. This year we'll also be serving breakfast so come early for some great breakfast food! For dessert, there will be cookies, cakes, and all kinds of sweets. The Chautauqua Garden Club will be selling their famous homemade ice cream, and the Copiah County 4-H will serve hot coffee, hot chocolate, and cold drinks all day.
