The festival will be on April 25 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Onslow County Center, at 4024 Richlands Hwy in Jacksonville, near the the Discovery Garden and Onslow County Farmers Market.<\/p>\n

The festival will offer a diverse array of locally grown vegetables, herbs, perennials and landscape plants available for purchase. Hanging baskets will also be sold.<\/p>\n
The Extension Master Gardener volunteers will be on site to answer plant or gardening-related questions and a plant clinic will be open to help people with gardening questions and tips.<\/p>\n
There will be children\u2019s activities in the Children\u2019s Garden, designed to inspire the next generation of gardeners.<\/p>\n
Educational displays in the raised-bed garden area will showcase the possibilities of gardening in small spaces, providing insight for anyone who has a limited area for growing items.<\/p>\n
Visitors will also have the chance to tour the Discovery Garden, which features the Pollinator Garden, the gazebo and a pond.<\/p>\n
The festival is a fundraiser that supports educational programs within the community designed to help foster a love for gardening and environmental stewardship among residents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2026 Spring Garden Festival will offer a variety of plants, vegetables and herbs to area residents in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117,634],"class_list":["post-202717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
