Lunch and Learn is back for its 14th year, offering classes and lectures on all things gardening. This free program begins the first Saturday in April and continues every Saturday until the end of June. It’s held at the Port Royal Farmers Market on Saturday at noon, next to the gazebo. No registration is necessary. Just bring a folding chair.

Many come early and visit some of the wonderful vendors for fresh fruits and veggies. Many buy  lunch so they can literally and lunch and learn.

There are usually door prizes of plants that have been donated by the lecturers or by the attendees. Some of them bring descendants of plants they have won at previous Lunch and Learns.
