Sacred Heart Garden Festival

Historic Sacred Heart Cultural Center will be the focus for classic Southern gardening during its 19th annual Garden Festival April 26-28, 2013. See the finest examples of garden and floral displays. Buy unique plants, shop at the marketplace, learn from garden experts and tour extraordinary private gardens.

A collection of "dresses" made entirely of natural materials will debut at the Garden Festival this year. The "Still Magnolias" will highlight the feminine yet garden-inspired fashion of Southern belles past and present. Patrons will decide which Still Magnolia will be voted "Best of Show."

Hours of operation for the festival are April 26-27 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; April 28 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. Garden Tours are 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on all three days.
