“Last year we welcomed over 300 attendees to our flagship garden for Springfest, and it was truly magical," Katie’s Krops Founder, Katie Stagliano said. "I am so excited for attendees to see just how much our garden has grown since last Springfest and for a morning of community building and activities with our wonderful partners, there truly is something for everyone to enjoy. I am incredibly grateful to Crossroads Community Church for welcoming us onto their campus with open arms, their partnership allows us to continue serving our community and makes events like Springfest possible!”
