GardenFest Goodies 2023

The garden clubs of Switzerland and Callahan have some very special goodies, including plants, gardening supplies, jams, jellies, and relishes.  They are sharing a table; look for the Switzerland/Callahan table in the back row behind the attendees' tables.  Prices are generally between $1 and $5 and quantity discounts available.  

Feeling lucky?  Put a dollar in our 50-50 raffle and watch it multiply ($5 buys six tickets).  Every dollar counts for our clubs, each of which number exactly 12.  Callahan will use their proceeds to help pay for the expenses of maintaining a big clubhouse by a small garden club.  Switzerland will donate their proceeds to Wekiva/Seek (they turn 50 this year) in memory of Marion Hilliard.

Switzerland has an assortment of jams and relishes, all from local sources:
  • Bostwick Blueberry  Jam
  • Honey-kissed beautyberry compote
  • A Little Peachy
  • Port Wine Strawberry Jam
  • Sweet Pickled Watermelon
Their Florida-Friendly plants include:
  • Flax Lilies
  • Aluminum Plants
  • Garlic Chives
  • Cigar/Firecracker Plants
Callahan brought an assortment of gardening supplies and decorative pots.  They brought some interesting plants too!  Stop by and introduce yourself to the Garden Club of Callahan, first time at GardenFest.
