Lewiston GardenFest
Historic Center Street, in Lewiston, NY
Think you don’t have a green thumb? Afraid to try creating a big garden? Always wanted to have your own little garden spot? Then here is the solution to your dilemma: the GardenFest Container Contest sponsored by Wegmans.
The Container Contest was judged by the public during the two-day event, and the People's Choice awards presented, Sunday at 4 pm. The terrific prizes are donated by local business and garden centers. Join us and show us your creativity.
Adults and children are invited to participate in the contest by bringing the special garden you created in a planter, a crock, a tub, or any funky container that appeals to you.
