Description:
The Blacksburg Farmers Market presents a Gardening Book Swap with Blacksburg Books and Special Guest Diane Flynt on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.

Blacksburg Books will be at the Blacksburg Farmers Market with all sorts of books about gardening, using fresh herbs & vegetables, landscaping, and other seasonal topics. Bring your old books and swap them for new ones, or give a donation and take a book or two!

At 4:00 PM, Diane Flynt will be on-site to speak about the history of apples in Appalachia, plus some growing tips. Diane is an author, apple-grower and founder of Foggy Ridge Cider.

All donations benefit the Farmers Market SNAP program, which allows people to use their EBT cards at the market for fresh food.

Local musician Amelia Empson will perform.

Amelia Empson plays a variety of Indie-Folk and Americana covers and originals from the Appalachian Mountains with talent far beyond her years.
