Gardening

The Dallas Farmers Market, one of the largest public markets of its type in the country, is open seven days a week, 362 days a year. 
Farmers from 150 miles around come to the Dallas Farmers Market, giving shoppers the chance to "buy locally." These certified local producers offer a wide array of seasonal produce, from tomatoes to sweet potatoes, peaches to watermelons. Other produce vendors complement these local offerings, with everything from Mexican avocados to Washington apples.
At the Dallas Farmers Market, visitors can also find specialty and prepared foods, flowers, shrubs, and trees, and the opportunity to buy produce in bulk.
