Aiken Garden Show coming up in May

Banksia, the Winter Colony home of the Aiken County Historical Museum, is once again home to The Aiken Garden Show, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9.

The keynote speaker Jenks Farmer and other local gardening experts will appear alongside landscape exhibitors and vendors, with demonstrations by local gardening organizations such as Camellia, Hydrangea, Rose, Orchid and Ikebana societies and daylily and bonsai growers. Tour the gardens of some of Aiken’s historic homes or take a guided afternoon walk through Hitchcock Woods or around Aiken’s Carolina Bay, while children enjoy garden-related craft activities, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Lunch is available from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. For prices and ticket information, visit www.aikengardenshow.org, e-mail aikengardenshow@bellsouth.net or call 641-6777. Proceeds from this year’s show go to the Aiken Land Conservancy and the Aiken Garden Club Council.
