What should I bring with me?
With so many plants and gardening-related things to buy, bring your wagon or cart with you! The Bauman’s Garden Center has a fleet of carts but there will not be enough available for the expected number of shoppers. Since this is an outdoor event, rain gear and galoshes if rain is in the forecast.

Where do I park?
Enter the farm grounds at the “GardenPalooza Parking” sign. You will be guided to the closest available parking. Please do not park at the Farm Store so that our regular store customers can still shop during this event. Thank you!
Do you have handicapped parking?
Yes! We have set aside a clearly marked dedicated parking lot for our handicapped customers that is the closest available to the event area. Valid Handicap Parking Permits must be clearly visible, or vehicles are subject to being towed away. Please note that this parking lot is only partially paved.
Where do I pay for plants and things I want to buy?
There is no centralized checkout at GardenPalooza.
Please pay the vendor directly where you found the plants or accessories you want to buy. Merchandise in the Bauman’s Nursery Yard can only be paid for at Bauman’s Check-out registers at the event or inside the Farm Store (Red Barn).
What forms of payment are accepted at GardenPalooza?
Cash, Debit or Credit Cards are accepted by most, if not all, vendors. Depending on the vendor, ApplePay is also accepted. Bauman’s accepts all these forms of payment.
I want to buy more than I can carry plants. Do you have a holding tent?

Are dogs allowed?
