Mother's day Market: Preorder in PFM-O Tues, 7pm thru Thurs, 7pm

The Market's open Saturday, 8:30am - 1pm

This Saturday ideas for Mother's Day should spring to mind as we welcome a number of vendors with items Mom would love!

Simply Planted Greenhouses has flowering annuals which will look great on Mom's deck. The River Garden has stunning dried floral arrangements, wreaths and early cuttings (such as white and lavender lilacs). Shop Saturday to get fresh eggs, bacon, vegetables, meats and desserts to go home and make great Mother's Day meals. Below we highlight many additional items that could provide Mother's Day fun.

And special this weekend only the community-driven Pleasantville Garden Club Annual Plant Sale is at the Plaza, alongside the Market, from 8:00am - 11:30am! Choose from heirloom items from member's gardens, seedlings to begin your vegetable garden and gorgeous hanging baskets.
