Mother's Day Market!

This Saturday ideas for Mother's Day should spring to mind as we welcome a number of vendors with items Mom would love, including:

• SallyeAnder's beautiful soaps
• Spice Revolution has unique spices, seasonings, salts, and versatile porcini mushroom powder
• Simply Planted Greenhouses has gorgeous hanging baskets and planters
• The River Garden offers stunning dried floral arrangements, wreaths and early spring cut flowers (lilacs!)

Shop Saturday to get fresh eggs, bacon, vegetables, meats and desserts to go home and make a great Mother's Day meal.

SPECIAL THIS SATURDAY: P'VILLE GARDEN CLUB PLANT SALE!

The community-driven Pleasantville Garden Club Annual Plant Sale is at the Plaza, alongside the Market, from 8:00am - 12:00pm. Choose from heirloom plants from member's gardens, seedlings to begin your vegetable patch, and gorgeous hanging baskets. If parking at a lot other than Memorial Plaza, you can use the event's convenient "5 minute loading" parking spaces (across from the Diner) to pick up your purchased plants. Whatever your plans, the Pleasantville Farmers Market and the Pleasantville Garden Club can help your Mother's Day Weekend be extra special!

Lead Sponsor Northwell Health Tip: "Moms have always told children that vegetables are good for them, and they were right! Based on some estimates, vegetables supply over 50% of vitamins C and A, and much of our B6, magnesium, niacin, thiamin, and iron. Eating a variety of seasonal plant food, which supplies these and many more nutrients, can help reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease." Brought to you by Northern Westchester and Phelps, your local Northwell hospitals.

The Market has been selling its orange, reusable handled bags for years, but shoppers have asked for mesh bags too. The Market now (finally!) offers high-quality, machine washable mesh bags, made with 100% recycled material. Avoid ordering mesh bags online (requiring individual packing material and a delivery truck using fossil fuels) by purchasing yours at the Manger's Tent -- better for the environment! Overall, we hope these bags can prove convenient for our customers and lessen the use of roll bags at our produce vendors' booths.
