Once again, the City of St. Petersburg is hosting its annual Arbor Day celebration, which will feature over 120 garden, plant and flower vendors and exhibitors.

2023's rendition of the Green Thumb Festival happens at St. Pete's Walter Fuller Park
on Saturday-Sunday, April 29-30 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. both days. 

This weekend-long event brings together flora and fauna lovers from all corners of Tampa Bay, and plans to offer kid-friendly activities that are fun for the entire family. In addition to a variety of garden-themed vendors, guests can enjoy a butterfly tent, free plant and seedling giveaways, a flower show, a garden wagon parade, decorating contest and a spread of local food trucks for when you inevitably become peckish.

Educational booths covering a range of environmental topics—from plant, soil and water diagnostics to Green Thumb’s “Ask an Arborist” tent—will also be present at this weekend's nature festival.
