Thank you for your interest in being a vendor!
Dear Returning & Potential Vendors,
Our Garden Market will celebrate its 27th year on Friday, May 1 (8:30AM-6PM) and Saturday, May 2, 2026 (8:30AM-4PM). Returning vendors, please note the extended hours!
Historically, our Garden Market attracts between 5,000-6,000 + people during the two-day event! Our vibrant and beloved community event attracts an ever-growing crowd through advertising, repeat customers, the quality and diversity of vendor products, and word of mouth.
Our Garden Market gives vendors the opportunity to sell garden-related and natural products to the public with designated booths and ground space on our historic campus. We work to raise community awareness about our event with a mix of publicity, signs, and social
media. We collaborate with our vendors and business sponsors to make this event enjoyable and fruitful for all—rain or shine!
There is no public admission fee to this event, though this is our primary fundraiser. We generate funds with vendor fees, church booths, and business sponsorships. Funds raised at our event help support our various ministries throughout the year, including our:
- Outreach Food Pantry, which is open year-round, 3 days a week, to distribute food to local people in need.
- Mission Committee, which funds worthy charities in our county, state and nation.
- Parish Center, which is used as a meeting place for four recovery groups. We support efforts to reduce addiction in our community with multiple services and events each week.
- Ongoing and committed stewardship of a historic building and property. Our active church, established in 1706, is a registered Maryland Historic Landmark.
For 320 years, St. Mary Anne’s has remained steadfast to Jesus’ mandate to love God and our neighbor. We hope that you will participate in this year’s Garden Market—so that together, we can celebrate God’s beautiful creation for the benefit of many.
Thank you and Blessings,
The Rev. John R. Schaeffer, Priest in Charge Kate Blomquist, Vendor Coordinator
