(Friday, May 11, 2018) – The City of Rochester Public Market’s 29th annual Flower City Days at the Market series continues at 8 a.m. this Sunday, May 13. These horticultural sales feature dozens of vendors specializing in bedding plants, shrubs, vegetable plants, perennials and annuals, gardening accessories and much more.

“Every year, Flower City Days at the Market bring the highly anticipated bright colors and earthy aromas of spring to the center of the city,” said Mayor Lovely A.

Our award-winning Public Market is a great resource for gardeners, bolstering our efforts to create safer / more vibrant neighborhoods, more jobs and better educational opportunities for our residents. Sunday is Mother’s Day, and I encourage our families to come to the market and experience spring in full bloom.”
