Geneva Merchants Host 4th Annual Gardenology May 19

Merchants in historic, downtown Geneva will host the fourth annual Gardenology, a free event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. May 19 along State and Third streets.

Gardenology advisers and vendors will bring their best ideas and garden related products to jumpstart the gardening season. Experts in the horticulture field— including farming, landscape design, weavers, local nurseries, a dog trainer, COD’s Horticultural Department and more—will be on hand to answer questions.

More than 50 vendors will have garden-themed giveaways, merchandise, live demos, and a chance to win a beautiful watering can at each store! Restaurants are cooking up fresh-from-the-garden fare.

Stop by the welcome tents in front of the Courthouse at 100 S. Third St. or down by at Dodson's Place (407 S. Third St.) or at The Litttle Traveler (404 S.Third St.) to buy tickets to win one of many Gardenology Day raffle prizes. Tickets will be at three for $1 or 20 for $5.

Organizers Deb Hilton and Sue Hadley of Country Naturals say the mission of Gardenology "is to promote, advise and provide expertise for the educational use of the public. We are all about all things gardening and are committed to providing quality sources of information about horticulture, wildlife and useful and decorative products to encourage the public to garden for the cultural and aesthetic enrichment of their own lives, homes and community.”
