The annual Herb Festival at Moneta Farm and Home Center will be back again in this year, with the return of all of the events that have made the festival so special over the years. The festival will be held rain or shine on May 6 from 10:00 until 2:00 at Moneta Farm and Home Center, 11739 Moneta Road in Moneta. This year will mark the twenty-ninth year of the festival with Virginia Cooperative Extension Bedford Area Master Gardeners being a major component of the festival for eighteen years.
There will be many interesting activities at the festival this year, including a hands-on hypertufa workshop led by the Master Gardeners. Be sure to pre-register in advance in person or by calling Moneta Farm and Home Center at 540-297-5558 to secure your spot in the workshop where you will make your own hypertufa planter.
Would you like to have an herbal container garden on your porch or patio or in your outdoor space? Choose your herb plants and planter and use the potting table to complete your container garden.
The Children’s Corner will return offering crafts to make and plants for the children to pot and take home.
Master Gardeners will also be on hand to assist customers with horticulture questions and plant selection.
The tasting table is always a highlight of the festival and features foods made from herbs for the public to sample and enjoy. Recipes are available for all of the tasty treats.
A wide selection of herb plants will be available for purchase and will be discounted by 25%.
Mark your calendars now and make plans to join your neighbors at the Moneta Farm and Home Center Herb Festival on May 6.
