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?

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
