Huntsville, Ala. – This weekend, residents of the Bob Wallace Avenue area are eagerly anticipating the arrival of a brand new farmer’s market. The Huntsville Botanical Garden, filing the host role, will launch the “Roots & Shoots Farmer’s Market” every fourth Saturday of June, July, and August. The initiative seeks to uplift and support local businesses and farmers, fostering a sense of community while providing fresh, high-quality produce.

Empowering Local Businesses and Farmers

The idea for the “Roots & Shoots Farmer’s Market” was formed out of a supportive collaboration between the Huntsville Botanical Garden and local businesses.
