Friends of the Garden Flea Market Fills the State Botanical Garden Conservatory

We are getting ready. Many volunteers are helping to organize and price items donated to the Garden's annual flea market, sorting items onto the right tables - dishes, linens, jewelry, toys, holiday decorations, office supplies and more. Tools, furniture and exercise equipment are placed together and the books are filling the Gardenside room. No sales until Saturday at 8:00 am - then it will be a shopping frenzy!   

The State Botanical Garden of Georgia annual Flea Market will be held on Aug. 18 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Garden’s Visitor Center and Conservatory. Admission is free and the event will be held rain or shine.

All proceeds will support the Garden’s numerous projects and displays. Any items that are not sold will be taken to various charitable organizations around Athens.

For more information, please call 706-542-1244.
