From February to April Uptown Farmers Market will host the Spring Growers Market. This seasonal market runs alongside the farmers market and acts as a “pop-up” neighborhood nursery, where market-goers can purchase items needed to cultivate their homestead and take classes from the experts for a $10 suggested donation.
