Come to Munn Park on Saturday, March 13, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. for the 8th Annual Spring Obsession, Garden and Art Festival.  Enjoy a Free family day of activities while exploring the many flowers and plants for sale, attend garden presentations, purchase art for the patio and listen to live music from the jazz band Free Time.

After the freeze, it is time to stock up on all your spring plant needs including: flowering plants for house and garden, outdoor plants for your landscaping, and garden art and accessories to spice up your lawn or patio.  Learn about jazzing up your yard from landscaping professionals as part of the garden presentations.  There will also be a presentation on rain barrels and water conservation with decorative rain barrels available for purchase.

Delight in hard to find exotics, orchids, Florida native plants, roses, herbs, gingers, and more as you stroll through Munn Park to the sounds of Free Time.  Free Time will play an eclectic and entertaining blend of musical styles ranging from Al Jarreau and Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley, Miles Davis, Grover Washington, Duke Ellington and BB King.  Spring Obsession is a non-profit event with this year’s proceeds going to Common Ground – an exciting City of Lakeland interactive, inclusive playground for children of all ages and varied physical abilities.
