Events
At Garden Gate Nursery, we host various events throughout the year. We regularly invite speakers to discuss new plant varieties, selecting plants that will flourish in your garden, and how best to care for your plants. In addition, we have fun family events such as our Fall Festival, with offers such as a petting zoo, pumpkin carving contest, local food and wine vendors, and face painting.
