Vendors Needed for Hydrangea Festival

Are you an artist, a craftsman, an interior decorator or a contractor? Are you a nursery or garden center? Do you have a business that sells lawn mowers, gardening equipment or home improvement materials? If so, you need to be a vendor at the 6th annual Penny McHenry Hydrangea Festival on June 1 and 2 on the grounds of the Douglas County Courthouse.

Three markets are featured this year:  Artists and Craftsmen, Plants and Flowers, and Home and Garden. The Artists and Craftsmen’s Market features original art, sculpture, jewelry and other artisan crafts. The Plant and Flower Market features live plants and other nursery items. The Home and Garden Market includes commercial businesses that supply products and services for inside and outside the house.

Vendor space is $75 for the two-day event. The Home and Garden Market is a Saturday-only event and vendor space is $50.

Last year’s festival attracted Douglas Countians as well as visitors from 11 states and from cities and counties all over Georgia. Your product or service will be seen.

In addition to the markets, the Hydrangea Festival features the Nationally award-winning Standard Flower Show, Farm Bureau Truck Farmers Market, tours of display and demonstration gardens, private garden tours (ticketed), and a presentation by “The Georgia Gardener” Walter Reeves (ticketed). On Saturday night, Mike Brookshire and Friends will present a free “Rhythm and Blooms” Concert on the Courthouse steps.
