Flower lovers, this is for you

By KELLY McVEY
Indiana Peony Festival President

The next Noblesville Flower Market is coming next week! Join us from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 29 in Seminary Park for blooms, art, handmade items, sweet treats, and more.

We’d like to make a special shoutout to our dear friends at Noblesville Ace Hardware and Keep Noblesville Beautiful for being this year’s Noblesville Flower Market sponsors. Both organizations have been great supporters of the Indiana Peony Festival. We couldn’t be more appreciative of all the support they pour into our community.

Peonies for sale

Stop by the Indiana Peony Festival booth at each flower market to order your peony roots for fall planting. Can’t make the market to order? No worries! We now have peony roots easily available online for ordering with two delivery options. Order to pick up at the flower markets or have them conveniently shipped to your home for an additional $6.

In addition to peony roots for sale, Ace will offer informational peony demonstrations at the August, September, and October markets. Sonny Naylor from Noblesville Ace Hardware will lead a discussion on planting, care, and maintenance of your peonies. They will have two Peony 101 sessions per market, which we’ll be announcing with more details very soon. Start your peony garden off right with helpful advice from our local Ace Hardware.

Noblesville Ace Hardware is partnering with a local expert, Buck Evans, with Heartland Worm Farm on how to nourish your garden, planters and beds with worm castings. Ace Hardware and Evans will be at the August Flower Market demonstrating how worm castings can greatly improve your garden. Make sure to check out the Ace Hardware booth any time between 5 and 8 p.m.

Lastly, we are extremely excited to announce our partnership with Chick-fil-A. Starting this month, we will have Chick-fil-A included in our monthly vendor lineup. Enjoy some of their limited menu items every last Thursday of the month. Thank you, Chick-fil-A!
