Edison, Ford estates to host Fall Garden Festival
The Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers will hold its annual fall Garden Festival on Nov. 20-21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Over 40 garden vendors from around the state will have tropical and native plants and trees for sale. The festival takes place outdoors, under large shade trees and also features food trucks and live music.
Vendors will have many types of plants and trees, including palms, fruit trees, bromeliads, hibiscus, butterfly plants, African violets, orchids, air plants, herbs, succulents, cacti and hard-to-find species. They will also offer garden supplies, such as fertilizer and worm castings.
The Edison Garden Shoppe will be open and have unusual tropical and Florida native plants. Ceramic flower pots, vegetable and flower seeds, garden art, and gardening gift items will also be available.
Members receive a discount on Garden Shoppe purchases; guests may purchase a membership at the event. Members also receive free, unlimited general admission throughout the year, plus free admission to other museums and gardens across the country through the reciprocal program.
In accordance with CDC guidelines, masks are recommended for attendees.
A limited number of garden carts will be available, so attendees are encouraged to bring a cart or wagon for transporting plants. A designated plant holding tent and loading spot will be offered.
