The fourth annual Grow Jamestown Garden Fair has been expanded to include a week of educational workshops, demonstrations and other activities centered on agriculture and education.
The week of events will take place Monday through Friday, March 16-20. It will culminate with the Garden Fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at the Lillian Vitanza Ney Renaissance Center, 119-121 West 3rd St. (corner of Washington and 3rd), Jamestown.
