Get ready to be inspired! Enjoy six days of garden activities designed to make gardeners spring into action.

It’s “Dig into Spring,” the annual Ideas Fair presented by Green Acres Nursery & Supply. But instead of in-person workshops and meet-and-greet sessions, the 2021 Ideas Fair has gone virtual, with events hosted online via Facebook or Instagram. All sessions are free.

Set for Monday through Saturday, March 8-13, the Ideas Fair offers something new and refreshing each day. Some lunchtime events will stream live on Facebook or Instagram. Others can be tapped into any time after their online debut. Gift card giveaways and others will be part of the fun.

Monday spotlights one of the newest members to the Green Acres family: Eisley Nursery in Auburn. Tag along on a video tour of the Eisley Nursery, now in the transition process. Eisley’s is renowned for its vegetable seedlings, so what better place to talk about edible gardening?

During a lunchtime live event, author and blogger Toni Okamoto (of

Each day’s activities and presentations will be posted on Green Acres’ Facebook and Instagram pages.
