BLOOMINGTON—With Mother’s Day just around the corner, the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market is blossoming into the perfect destination for a heartfelt, locally sourced gift. Forget the last-minute scramble and impersonal big-box bouquets at the Market in Showers Commons at 401 North Morton Street.
Skip the stress of shipping and surprise Mom with a hand-picked arrangement of American-grown blooms and foliage. These lush and lovely bouquets are guaranteed to convey your love in a way only locals can.
This Saturday, also visit A Fair of the Arts” in Fernandez Plaza in front of City Hall between 8 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. for an array of arts and fine crafts.
But the market offers more than beautiful flowers this Saturday. Be sure to visit Daniel Graber of Graber’s Produce at Booth C-10 for a generous supply of farm-fresh, juicy strawberries—arrive early for the best selection.
