Linvilla Orchards' Plant and Flower Festival


Finally - spring is here! And nowhere is that more apparent than at Linvilla Orchards Plant and Flower Festival. On Saturday, April 30, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Linvilla's new Garden Center will be blossoming with a plethora of plants, tons of trees, a festival of flowers and gorgeous garden accessories galore. From delicate blooms to lush shrubs and savory herbs, you'll find everything you need to build a fabulous garden. And Linvilla's expert staff will be on hand to answer all of your gardening questions.

There's so much to do at this fabulous festival! Kids will love the host, Makin' Music. Catering to music fans of all ages, they specialize in getting everyone on their feet at their interactive shows.

Linvilla's Plant and Flower Festival is a great family friendly event. Stop into the market for some sweet treats. Enjoy lunch at the Linvilla Grill. See the orchards in bloom. You can even take the kids fishing. And by all means, check out the world-class playground. Get down on the farm. Talk to the goats. Feed the geese. There will be pony rides, face painting, and so much more.
