The Wimberley Garden Club will present its first-ever Spring Garden Faire at Wimberley’s Songland Farms on Saturday, May 9, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Faire will feature exhibits and speakers with the latest Hill Country-specific recommendations for not just home gardening but how to preserve our land and water resources in today’s challenging times.
Fun Faire features include the club’s annual plant sale of native and adapted plants at budget-friendly prices, food and beverage vendors and local artists and musicians. Two of the Faire’s sponsors are also offering some great perks for attendees: Wimberley Gardens will give Faire goers a 10% discount on all items purchased at their nursery on May 7, 8 and 9 (with proof of ticket purchase); and RainBees Rain Harvesting will give away two of their low-maintenance, water-conserving wicking garden containers during the event.
Exhibitors include Elder Hill Farms, Green Earth Worm Farm, Hays County Master Gardeners, Hays County Master Naturalists, Hill Country Unit of the Herb Society of America, Jackie Mattice, Keep Wimberley Beautiful, Microlife Organic Fertilizers, RainBees Rain Harvesting, Symbiosis Regenerative Landscapes, Texas Gardener Magazine, Texas Metal Tanks and the WaterWise Community Education Initiative.
Faire artists will be Tim Donnelly, plein air painter; Amber Denison, plasma-cut metal art; Tim Leibrock, plein air painter; Jim Street, plein air painter; and Mary Wiley, jewelry. Musicians will include Roland Brown, Joe Dalton, Tom Dawson and Bill Perkins.
The Faire’s location, Songland Farms, is a 15-acre farm and orchard on East Skyline Acres Rd. Using intensive no-till methods and no chemical fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides, they supply farmer’s markets, restaurants and small grocers with fresh, local, organically grown and unique varieties of vegetables. Husband and wife team Dylan Kongos and Amber Denison own and operate this Wimberley gem, which was featured during the Garden Club’s 2025 Spring Garden Tour. Dylan is also a singer-musician in the multi-platinum band “KONGOS,” and Amber is an artist specializing in paintings and plasma-cut metal art.
Spring Garden Faire tickets are $20 and available at wimberleygardenclub.org. A maximum of 200 tickets will be sold due to parking limitations.
