Market Day traditionally attracts more than 3,000 visitors to the Arboretum over Mother’s Day weekend, all eager to shop for plants and crafts from a diverse range of vendors. Regional vendors will offer an impressive selection of plants, along with gifts such as pottery, jewelry, art, and more. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from participating food trucks on both days, and wagon rentals will be offered for added shopping convenience. Families can also enjoy a variety of children’s activities, making it a fun event for all ages.
