Books & Blooms

✨ Event Description

Prepare for a vibrant celebration of literature and nature at Books & Blooms, a unique spring event hosted at Calgo Gardens in Freehold, NJ. This is not just another book fair; it’s a nostalgic reimagining of the beloved Scholastic-style fairs, designed for adults who love both reading and the beauty of blooming gardens. Picture this: curated selections of books from local authors, live music echoing through the floral paradise, and a marketplace brimming with creative artisans.

As you wander through the stunning gardens, you’ll discover a thoughtfully curated collection of local makers and small businesses. From handmade soaps to enchanting curiosities, each vendor brings a touch of artistry that complements the literary theme. It’s the perfect opportunity to find that next great read while supporting the creative community of New Jersey.

Books & Blooms isn’t just about browsing; it’s about engaging. We’ll have hands-on workshops throughout the day, allowing you to unleash your creativity. Whether you’re looking to craft a unique bookmark or learn a new skill, there’s something for everyone. Plus, keep your eyes peeled for adoptable pets from the AHS Tinton Falls—because what pairs better with a good book than a furry friend?
