The Larimer County Farmer’s Market is fortunate to have great vendors. This year, Mitzi Davis of Mitzi’s Flowers, entered her asters in the Larimer County Fair flower competition and hers were selected as Grand Champion. You can see some of the asters, the beautiful pink ones with a yellow middle, in bouquets which are available for sale at the Saturday market. She said she grew asters for awhile, but then had problems with bugs, and just recently started growing them again. She has been entering some of her flowers in the fair for 6 or 7 years. When asked what she likes about the fair, she says, “I just think it is fun. I like to see all the things people have grown. I like to hear the comments and critiques from the judges.” Next time you are at the farmers' market, stop by and see Mitzi’s prize-winning flowers and enjoy a bouquet for yourself.
