Strolling beneath the majestic oaks of Riverside Park, attendees can enjoy a vibrant array of vendors, food offerings, children’s crafts, and exciting raffle prizes. Many visitors come prepared with wagons, eager to fill them with garden treasures sourced from the event’s exceptional lineup of plant and garden accessory vendors.

Hosted annually by the Garden Club of Indian River County, Gardenfest! is a celebration of all things garden-related. For over two decades, the club has scoured the southeastern U.S. to assemble a selection of top-tier vendors, showcasing the latest trends in plants, landscaping, and garden design. Offerings include Florida native plants, tropicals, unique specimens, and flowering plants, alongside planters, pottery, fountains, furniture, lighting, statuary, and more.

Highlights of the plant selection feature palms, ferns, orchids, bromeliads, succulents, bamboo, bonsai, fruit trees, and roses, ensuring something for every gardening enthusiast, from novice to expert.

In addition to celebrating the beauty of gardening, proceeds from Gardenfest! support the Garden Club’s local scholarships and community outreach initiatives, which aim to enhance, preserve, and beautify the landscape of Indian River County.

Rain or shine, Gardenfest! remains the premier gardening event in Vero Beach, attracting plant lovers of all levels to this vibrant annual tradition. Don’t miss the opportunity to join the celebration and discover the wonders of nature’s finest marketplace.
