Tomorrow, April 30, Tryon Fine Arts Center, in conjunction with the Green Blades Garden Club Tour of Homes, will hold the second annual Art & Garden Bazaar on McCown Street in downtown Tryon.
The event will benefit art and landscapes throughout Polk County and Landrum through the “ArtScapes” program.
The Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation awarded a grant for this free one-day shopping event, which not only helps garden art merchants and plant vendors, but adds to the quality of life for residents and visitors who will benefit from the beautification projects for years to come.
Proceeds from the 2010 Art & Garden Bazaar will go toward the first “ArtScapes” project at the corner of New Market and Trade Streets, with a groundbreaking expected soon.
Partnering with Tryon Fine Arts Center are the Town of Tryon, Polk County Extension Center, Green Blades Garden Club, Tryon Garden Club, the Daffy Jills and the Magnolia Garden Club.
In addition, there will be food and drink at the Fine Arts Center tent, live “garden buddies” at the Foothills Humane Society tent and art at the Tryon Painters & Sculptors tent.
