Description:

Lewiston’s Garden Festival is held in June so that local gardens have had time to recover from winter and flowers are blooming.  Between seven and ten area gardens are opened for public viewing.  These can range from formal gardens to wildflower gardens to xeroscape.

Along with a map of gardens in Lewiston that are open for public viewing on these days, Center Street closes to traffic from Eighth Street to Fourth Street for the vendors to set up.  Pedestrians are then able to browse through various booths of plants, garden accessories, yard furniture, landscape companies staged mini landscapes and an assortment of outdoor decor without worrying about traffic or parked cars.  Local nurseries provide local plants and trees for purchase and you can even make arrangements for a landscaper to come to your yard and do the planting for you.  The hand crafted birdbaths and yard art range from whimsical to formal.  Register for drawings, make a bouquet to present to a favorite person, enter a plant in the best indoor plant contest.

No festival is complete without food and there will be food vendors along the four block stretch of closed street and the local eateries are happy to serve those who would rather come in and sit down for their meal.
