Welcome Spring back to Utah and the color back to your landscape at our Spring Fling Open House! We're hosting our seasonal celebration - filled with vendors, artisan goods, annuals and perennials for your garden, greenhouse tours, and special mini-workshops - on April 16th from 10 am to 4 pm.
During the open house, you’ll have the chance to attend short informational demos led by the talented Freckle Farm staff and some of our favorite experts from our growing community. These mini-workshops are guaranteed to inspire your inner green thumb.
