AIKEN GARDEN SHOW is this WEEKEND

Starting the morning of May 15th & May 16th, 2015 our Historic Banksia, the Aiken County Historical Museum, will be the heart of the 2015 Aiken Garden Show this year.  You have the rare opportunity to tour some the most impressive private gardens in the Aiken area, which are short drive from Banksia.  At Banksia you can meet with vendors, listen to speakers and an all-arrangement rose show.














For some excitement watch the “Dueling Designers” creating fairy gardens; a popular trend among young and old and flower arranging, using the same materials with different outcomes!

There will be enjoyable food at the Banksia Bistro at the Winter Colony mansion. Come out and join the fun which will helps the Aiken Garden Club Council raise funds to maintain the historic Doll House in Hopeland’s Gardens, one of Aiken's garden gems.

Flowers, gardens, playing in the dirt is my passion, I look forward to this event.
