I finally woke up early enough on Saturday morning to visit the Green Market at Piedmont Park. I'm glad I did -- not only because I actually do like getting up by 8:30 am on Saturdays, but also because there were some pretty cool things to look at and buy. I wasn't sure what to expect... What I did find was a sweet little market with a good mix of people. There's definitely potential for the market to grow into something bigger, and I think the patronage would be there. The Piedmont Park Conservancy does a nice job with the variety of vendors -- from local honey, flowers, fruits and vegetables to some nice jewelery and crafts. The live music and the local celebrity chef demo were two nice surprises. The Green Market takes place every Saturday from 9 am - 1 pm starting in May and ending in December. I highly suggest a visit -- at least to peruse and support your local vendors.
I had a great Saturday morning walking around with my coffee and croissant from one of the vendors, listening to mellow music and checking out the local produce and crafts.
