Garden Fair 2025 Mother's Day Weekend

Join us for our 35th celebration of Garden Fair at Blandy Experimental Farm, home of the State Arboretum of Virginia.
Scheduled for Mother’s Day weekend, May 10-11, 2025, Garden Fair is the biggest fundraising event of the year of the Foundation of the State Arboretum, the nonprofit that supports Blandy Experimental Farm and the State Arboretum’s varied collections and public education programs. Eight to ten thousand people from across Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, Warren, and Loudoun counties and far beyond, up to a 300-mile radius, attend this fun event each year to purchase the best selection of native plants, annuals, perennials, herbs, trees, shrubs, garden tools and nature inspired gifts and products. In addition, we are expecting 65 vendors, including environmental nonprofits, to attend our event this year. We will have food trucks, wine and beer, music, children’s activities, and Arboretum tours, to round out this much anticipated Mother’s Day Weekend tradition.
