The GROW Jamestown Garden Fair began in 2011 and has grown to a day-long event that brings together dozens of gardening, greening, and local farm vendors alongside home improvement contractors and community non-profits to showcase opportunities to support and celebrate the growing season!

Collaboration: Cultivate relationships and partnerships between gardeners, property owners, businesses, organizations, and educators.
