Norcross- Garden Tour & Spring Downtown Open House
New to the City of Norcross events calendar this year is Blossom – a unique garden & gardening arts experience.
On April 30th from 10am – 5pm visitors will have a choice of several activities, from getting their hands dirty at local plants sales and strolling through local gardens, to shopping for garden art and enjoying spring salads in the local eateries.
Five gardens will be on tour for this free inaugural event, including the charming grounds of the Norcross Garden Club, and the beautiful home grounds of Gardens by Design owner and master gardener, Julie Foster. In the downtown area, the merchants will host a Spring Open House, full of new inventory for your own garden, as well as for inside your home.

Plus there will be workshops and a chance to get advice from local master gardeners. Farmers from the upcoming Whistle Stop Farmer’s Market will be on hand with tips on how to make your veggies flourish (and some early crops to buy!), plus you can sign up for a rain-barrel making class, and a flower-arranging class.
