Diggin’ Spring is the new name for the spring event in downtown Hudson scheduled Saturday. Last year’s Mayfair Herb and Garden Fest has been modified to in-store promotions throughout the downtown area. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Visitors should look for giant daisies on the doors of participating businesses. Activities include registration for door prizes, artisan showings, free wildflower seeds and in-store demonstrations. Free gardening tips, tricks and technique informational cards will be given away.

A spring garden market will be hosted by My Sister’s Garden in North Hudson. The schedule includes an herbal planter workshop, safety and skin care tips by the Hudson Hospital and a plant sale by the Hudson Garden Club. Lawn and garden experts will be on hand all day with demos and information.

The event is coordinated by the Downtown Retail Committee of the Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau.
