Visitors gather for the Spring Flower Festival at Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company in this 2024 file photo. The annual event draws crowds for live music, vendors, garden tours and family-friendly activities in Mansfield.
Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company will welcome visitors from across the region for its annual Spring Flower Festival, set for Sunday and Monday, April 12–13.
Held at the company’s Mansfield farm, the two-day event celebrates the arrival of spring in the Ozarks with live music, educational opportunities, vendors and family-friendly activities.
Festival hours are scheduled from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. Admission is $10 per adult, which covers both days, while children under 18 are admitted free.
Organizers said preparations have been underway as the farm transitions into the spring season, noting that while recent severe weather caused some damage to flower gardens, the festival will still feature a full schedule of entertainment and experiences.
Visitors can expect performances from a variety of live musicians, including The Farmer & Adele, a Nashville-based duo known for their modern take on Western swing and roots music.
In addition to music, attendees will have the opportunity to explore the grounds through garden walks, tastings and guided tours. More than 150 vendors and exhibitors are expected, offering seeds, plants, tools and locally made goods, along with a selection of food options.
Family-oriented activities will also be available, including access to the farm’s Ozark village setting, wildflower areas and interactive experiences for children.
Free camping will be offered during the festival, with limited restroom and shower facilities available. Organizers encourage those interested to review festival guidelines in advance.
Vendor spaces are still available for a small fee, while exhibitor spots are free. Those interested in participating can contact organizers at festivals@rareseeds.com

Organizers say the event is designed to bring people together to enjoy the season, reconnect with nature and experience the traditions of the Ozarks.
