🌿 Spring Garden Expo 2026 — More Than a Market
Hosted by Forest of Eden Farm & Nursery , the Spring Garden Expo is built around one idea:
👉 Bring together the right mix of growers, makers, and educators —
so you don’t just shop… you actually leave better equipped for the season.
This is where you come to:
✔ Find plants you won’t see at big box stores
✔ Ask real questions and get real answers
✔ Discover local businesses you’ll come back to all year
🌿 Five Different Worlds — One Place
That’s what makes the Spring Garden Expo different.
You don’t just walk through vendors…
you move through completely different experiences, one after another.
🌱 You might start with Forest of Eden Farm & Nursery —
tables filled with healthy, hardened-off vegetable starts and herbs, grown for performance — not just appearance.
Think:
- Young fig trees of many different varieties and diverse flavor profiles like honey, berry, tropical, caramel and more!
- Specialty herbs like Thai basil and lemon basil for both home cooks and chefs
- Transplants with thick stems, established roots, and real field readiness
These aren’t fragile greenhouse starts.
They’re built to go in the ground and take off.
🍋 Then a few steps later, you’re at Gathered to Graze —
fresh-squeezed lemonade made on-site, poured over ice, bright and cold in the spring air.
Flavors rotate, presentation is intentional, and it’s not just a drink — it’s an experience:
- Real fruit
- Fresh press
- Clean, balanced sweetness
You’ll see people walking away with one… and coming back for another.
🧵 Across the way, Kith and Kindred Designs pulls you in —
handcrafted stained glass pieces, each one cut, assembled, and finished by hand.
- Sun catchers that shift color throughout the day
- Decorative pieces that turn a window into a focal point
- No two pieces exactly alike
This is the kind of booth where people slow down, look closely… and pick something meaningful.
🍯 Then you pass Kem’s Herb & Tea Bar —
a full spread of herbal blends, loose leaf teas, and natural wellness products.
You’ll find:
- Functional blends for relaxation, digestion, and energy
- Ingredients you can see, smell, and understand
- A vendor who can actually explain what you’re buying and why it works
It’s part retail, part education — and people tend to linger.
🎓 And just beyond that, Extension Master Gardeners of Pitt County —
a booth that might be the most valuable stop you make all day.
Bring your questions:
- Why your tomatoes struggled last year
- What to plant right now in Eastern NC
- Soil, pests, spacing, timing
No guesswork. No Google rabbit holes.
Just real, local expertise — right in front of you.
And that’s the rhythm of the day.
🌱 Plants → Food → Craft → Wellness → Knowledge
All woven together into one experience.
