LEWISTON, N.Y. — Calling all green thumbs; applications are now available for this year's Lewiston GardenFest.

“It’s a wonderful time to celebrate our local gardens as Lewiston Garden Club marks its 95th anniversary and Lewiston gears up for its bicentennial this summer,” said Judy Talarico, chair, Lewiston GardenFest. “We’ve been helping Lewiston bloom for 95 years and are excited to showcase our love of gardening with the entire community at this year’s Lewiston GardenFest by sharing plenty of new ideas to spark inspiration for your own green spaces.”
Vendor applications are due by May 1.The deadline for Village or Town of Lewiston residents interested in showing off their gardens is May 20. Both can be found here.
The GardenFest is located along Center St. and is free to attend. The weekend will also include speakers demonstrating new and different gardening techniques, question and answer sessions with master gardeners and garden-related crafts for kids.
