Flowermart in Baltimore

It's lemonsticks for Garden Variety today.

I will be at Flowermart at Mount Vernon Square in the city, visiting all the school kids' booths and flower sales. Not to mention the food vendors.

My colleague Jacques Kelly has a wonderful story in The Sun about the 93 years of Flowermart and how it has evolved into a multi-generational event for city dwellers.

And there is a photo gallery of Flowermart through the years.

The fun begins with a Maypole dance at about 11 a.m. How could it begin with anything else?
