Canceled!
Bakersfield College is closely monitoring the status regarding COVID-19 and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to postpone or cancel large public gatherings on campus.
As a result of these suggestions, and with a heavy heart, the upcoming Garden Fest is being canceled for this year. Due to the semester timing, postponement is not a possibility for Garden Fest this spring semester. Vendors who have paid registration fees will be fully refunded at this time.
BC's Garden Fest is a much loved tradition which we know will continue to thrive and blossom for many years in to the future. We hope to count on you for attendance at the next one!

Garden Fest
at Bakersfield College beginning its 15th year, has become Bakersfield’s premiere springtime garden event. Garden Fest is an open house featuring the Environmental Horticulture and Agriculture programs that draws thousands of visitors to the Bakersfield College campus for a day of family fun. With over 150 vendor booths featuring gardening, pets, farmer’s market, cooking, outdoor leisure, arts & crafts, and environmentally friendly home improvement ideas, there is something for everyone. New and special for the whole family is the BC Club Carnival games area. Have fun and win prizes with Carnival games presented by the student clubs and organizations from Bakersfield College. Bob for Apples! Ring the Bottle and many more! Learn about gardening at the Garden Fest seminars at the California Landscape Contractors Association (CLCA) Country Garden Stage featuring The Country Garden The interactive Garden Fest seminars are hosted by Bakersfield College's Plant Professor, Professor Lindsay Ono and landscape industry professional The Sultan of Sod, Dale Edwards from Old River Sod. The Country Garden duo will make you laugh and learn and they will be joined in the seminars by industry professionals to demonstrate and talk gardening and answering your questions. Don’t miss a crowd favorite segment called, Grilling with the Chef. This is an interactive demonstration on grilling meats and vegetables with Executive chef John McFee. The Chef will be using fresh produce selected that day from the Renegade Ranch Farmer’s Market and the best part, the interactive participation of taste testing the results. The barbeque grill that they demonstrate on will be raffled off as a fund raiser for the BC Ag Club and this gas barbeque can be yours if you are lucky enough to win!
