Hillside Gardeners Market Returns This Sunday

Green thumbs, curious cooks, and anyone who appreciates a good tomato are in for a treat this weekend as the Hillside Gardeners Market returns to the town square this Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The beloved outdoor market, now in its 12th year, is expected to draw dozens of local growers and plant enthusiasts — not to mention the crowds who come solely for the free herb samples. Market coordinator Jonah Reeves says this year’s vendor list is the most diverse yet. “We’ve got heirloom vegetable growers, native plant specialists, backyard orchardists, and even someone selling ‘therapeutic moss balls.’ People get really passionate about their plants, and we love that.”
