Leesburg Flower and Garden Festival - April 18th and 19th

I've been looking forward to this event for an entire year...last year I drove into Leesburg finding this festival by mistake...had my two dogs with me and was on my way home from riding my horses...Grabbed my dogs and went to the gates only to find out "no dogs allowed"...needless to say I was really bummed. It was late in the day on Sunday, so I left and figured I'd have to make it this year...

So, here it is a year later...and I'm not missing this event...if you get a chance swing by! There will be landscape displays, garden designers, plenty of vendors to buy flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, gifts, garden art themes and sculptures....

The Festival runs from 10-6pm on Sat. and 10-5pm on Sunday. Here is link for details, directions and maps: http://www.idalee.org/parks/events/FlowerGarden/
