Books & Blooms - Book Fair & Market

Join us! Hosted by Bound for Adventure and In Bloom, “Books & Blooms” is a brand-new spring event at Calgo Gardens celebrating books, gardens, creativity, and community!

This unique event brings together two worlds we love — the joy of reading and the beauty of plants.

📚Books & Blooms is a nostalgic Scholastic-style book fair for adults — reimagined for the modern reader and plant enthusiast. Guests will browse curated book selections, meet local authors, enjoy live music, and shop from a thoughtfully chosen collection of local makers, artists, and small businesses — all while surrounded by the gardens in full bloom. 🌿✨

Sunday, May 17th 2026
