The annual May Garden Mart, hosted by the Franklin Gardeners’ Association, will take place this weekend in Franklin’s Fountain Park, featuring over 40 vendors including greenhouses, artisans, and food sellers. Running Saturday and Sunday, the event includes returning favorites and new participants like Peaceful Horizons Massage Plus and Strickland Honey Farms. Attendees can expect a range of offerings such as handmade crafts, garden décor, and gardening tips. Kids’ activities and vendor raffles will also be part of the event. Despite some disruptions from a nearby sewer project, organizers have adapted the layout. The mart serves as the main fundraiser for the association, which supports local gardening and beautification efforts.
