Daylily Festival & Garden Show set for Saturday in Abbeville

Abbeville’s Daylily and Garden Show is always known for having select flower and plant vendors.
This year is no exception.
There are around 50 vendors, including food vendors, that will be in attendance this Saturday, June 4. The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Magdalen Square in downtown Abbeville.
There will be two educational presentations held in the Vermilion Cultural Center adjacent to Magdalen Square. In addition, at 12:15 p.m. the annual 4-H Garden Contest winners will be announced
The show will have all the usual vendors selling daylilies, bromeliads, honey, assorted plants and gardening items. Organizations like the Abbeville Garden Club and the Bonsai Society will be there. They will both be willing to answer any questions you may have.
One talk that may be of interest is “Basic Vegetable Gardening” by Dan Devenport of the LSU AgCenter. Devenport has many years experience with plants and gardening. He has been with the LSU AgCenter since 2014 with responsibilities for adult horticulture and school gardens both in Lafayette and Vermilion parishes. He and his wife owned Dan’s Nursery in Abbeville for over 20 years.
The 11 a.m. “Native Plants” session is presented by L.J. Delcambre, owner of Cajun Native Plants in Abbeville. Delcambre is a Master Gardener and a Master Naturalist.
Abbeville Main Street and the Vermilion Chamber of Commerce are proud to present this year’s Daylily Festival and Garden Show held on Saturday, June 4 from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The festival is sponsored by the City of Abbeville, Gulf Coast Bank and the Abbeville Garden Club.
