Annual Daylily and Garden Show set for this Saturday in Abbeville

Abbeville’s Daylily and Garden Show will visit us this Saturday.
Daylilies may be the most carefree of all flowering perennials. The plants grow quickly and are long lived. They thrive in almost any type of soil, will grow in sun or part shade, and are rarely troubled by insect pests or disease. Daylilies are known for their toughness, but their colorful and abundant flowers are also dazzling.
Although the Daylilies are the feature flower for this festival all gardening will be highlighted this Saturday, June 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Magdalen Square. The Abbeville Garden Club will be located in the Gazebo and will be available to answer your gardening needs. The children’s activity will feature art projects on birds and other pollinators. The AGC members will host a Storytime in the Gazebo starting at 11:30 and throughout the afternoon.
The Abbeville Cultural & Historical Alliance Center will be the location for the educational speakers. At 10 a.m., Judge Edwards, Master Naturalist and Abbeville Garden Club member will share information about Blue Birds in Vermilion Parish. Maddox Miller will follow at 11 a.m. Mr. Miller is an Associate Extension Agent-Horticulture with Lafayette, Vermilion and Acadia Parishes. His topic will be on Tropical Plants for the Home. The 4-H Garden Contest winners will be announced shortly after the speaker sessions are completed.
The Daylily Festival is presented by Abbeville Main Street and the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the Abbeville Cultural Center and Historical
Alliance and the City of Abbeville. Sponsors are the Abbeville Garden Club and Gulf Coast Bank.
