Gardeners and green thumbs will descend into Mount Dora for the 26th annual Mount Dora Plant and Garden Fair on November 14 and 15.

Once again the event will be held under the oaks at Donnelly Park in the heart of the city’s historic downtown.

The free festival features native and exotic nurseries from across Florida, as well as vendors selling garden decor and nature-inspired items.  Gardeners can expect to find blooming orchids, flowering shrubs, fruit trees, and camellias, as well as succulents, bamboo, bromeliads, bonzai and  other specialty plant vendors. There will also be vintage garden items and statuary for sale to enhance outdoor space. Gardeners can also seek advice from experts on plant care and other related topics.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase and volunteers will be on hand to help cart plants to cars, so visitors don’t have to fret about buying plants too big to carry.  

The hours are Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday the 15th from 9 a.m. to  4 p.m.  Drivers should look for signs for public parking lots.
