Gerbera Festival

Join us for the 10th annual Kitayama Brothers Farms Gerbera Festival on Saturday, June 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Kitayama Brothers Farms is located at 481 San Andreas Road in Watsonville (next to Sunset State Beach). All proceeds from the Gerbera Festival benefit Kids2Parks, an innovative park-equity program of Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks to bring students from Title 1 schools on State Park field trips.

The Gerbera Festival features free greenhouse tours, potted Gerbera plants and cut flowers for sale, kids’ activities, flower arranging demonstrations, a farmers market, food and Corralitos Brewing Co. beer for sale, and a PopUp ParkStore. The Festival is part of the Monterey Bay Greenhouse Growers Open House, a daylong event on June 8 featuring guided tours of five Monterey Bay greenhouses, including Kitayama Brothers.
