Brookside Farmers Market Gardening Festival and other weekend possibilities

• Facebook: Brookside Farmers Market
• Veg out this weekend.

With the danger of frost gone and warm, wet growing conditions, it’s finally time to start thinking about your garden. Conveniently, the Brookside Farmers Market (63rd Street and Wornall) is holding its annual Gardening Festival on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There’s a garden tool freecycle (think take-a-penny, leave-a-penny but with garden tools), a cooking demonstration with wild edibles from the Farmhouse’s Michael Foust at 11 a.m. and a chance to ask local farmers about what to plant and how to keep it alive.
