Folly Farm has been enchanted with fairies, gnomes, and all things garden related. Shop from local plant vendors and explore the gardens as you search for fairy doors and landings during the Enchanted Garden Festival on March 26 from 10am-2pm. This is an absolutely fantastical, family friendly experience that invites locals to get out and enjoy one of the most resplendent nature preserves in the region.

Gnomio will be built onsite at Folly Farm as a 14-foot gnome during the festival by artist Chris Dotson and local contractor, Sean Carbery. Food Vendors include Cabo San Taco – Mexican Food Truck and Harbor Dish. The Safety Harbor Parks Department will be planting trees at Folly Farm during the event and asking for your help to locate, dig and plant the tree!
