Whether your thumbs are green or not, we trust that you’ll want to visit Bedford Common on May 15 for the 57th Annual First Parish Plant & Craft Fair. You’ll find specialty annuals, heritage perennials from members’ gardens, crafts, activities for kids, cook out lunch, bake sale, live music, annuals, herbs and vegetables from Massachusetts growers, and more.
The Fair features world-class Massachusetts-grown annuals and field-grown perennials, herbs and veggies along with a glorious selection of Heritage Perennials dug from our members’ gardens — in some cases by dividing plants that were originally purchased generations ago at First Parish sales. There will also be crafters (more than 50 vendors are expected to grace Bedford’s Town Common), a cookout lunch, outstanding bake sale and live music by the Yankee Doodle Dixieland Band.
To entertain the kids they’ll offer a professional face painter, a petting zoo sponsored by Bedford’s 4-H club, a games tent and a roving magician. Come early to snag the best plants and stay around to enjoy the music, activities and lunch! The Annual Plant & Craft Fair is a fundraiser for Bedford’s First Parish on the Common and its work in the community.
The fair is held Saturday, May 15, from 10 – 3 at First Parish on the Common, 75 The Great Road, Routes 4/225, in Bedford. Free. Telephone 781-275-7994 for more information, or email plantfair@uubedford.org.
