My wife and I have a guilty pleasure, Renaissance Faires. When the mood hits, we like to visit the Reniassance Pleasure Faire in Casa de Fruta, or visit one of the many small weekend faires that pop up over the warmer months. (yes, we've even been known to dress up for the event!)

Well, I've found out that gardener's have the same opportunity. This Sunday, for ONE DAY ONLY, The Gardens at Heather Farms will be host to a Garden Faire. There will be a number of fun events for both children and adults:

For kids, there will be booths offering bugs, bats, bees and birds as well as games about water quality.

A gardener's market and plant sale will provide adults and children a chance to practice some of those safe gardening techniques.

Mini dream gardens created by students and scout troops will be displayed and judged in a contest.

Face painting will be offered in addition to arts and crafts projects for kids.

For adults, gardening experts will be on hand to provide tips, techniques, demonstrations and advice.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and a variety of vendors will be selling arts and crafts.

Best of all, the faire will include a troupe of Morris Dancers. If you don't know what Morris Dancing is, it's worth the trip just to see them!

The Morris Dancers of Berkeley will be teaching people how to participate in the traditional Maypole Dance at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. And "insect song" presentation will be performed at 1:15 p.m.

Anyone who goes, I'd love to hear your comments afterward!
