The University of Florida/IFAS and the PSC Milton campus will host the Spring Festival of Flowers 9 am to 4 pm this Friday, April 4, through Sunday, April 6.
Highlights include a variety of plants, flowers, herbs, garden supplies, arts and crafts and food. Food trucks along with ice cream and coffee vendors will be there.
The event raises scholarship funds for Pensacola State and the University of Florida students. The University of Florida Plant Science and Natural Resource Conservation programs have been on the Milton campus since 1995; both offering Bachelor of Science degrees.
Event coordinator Robin Vickers said, “The money raised from the event helps our students with scholarships, field trips and outdoor experiences.”
Vickers took over the event in 2010, and it’s the 14th event with the University of Florida. Currently, all 125 vendor spots have been filled. “I love all the different and unique plants featured at the event – things you just can’t find at ‘big box’ stores. Our arts and crafts vendors also provide many unique gift items”
You may need to bring a wagon to transport the plants you purchase at this fun outdoor event. The Pensacola State College Milton campus is located in west Milton at 5988 Highway 90.
