CEDAR RAPIDS – The warmth of the Noelridge Greenhouse can dispel the gray skies that sometimes tend to accompany this time of year.

That’s particularly true during the annual Easter Showcase, held this Saturday, March 26, and Sunday, March 27, 2016, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Noelridge Greenhouse, 4900 Council Street NE.

See photos from last year’s event.

As always, admission is free. The first 500 children age 12 years and under will receive a free plant.

The following vendors/exhibitors will be on hand: Eastern Iowa Aquarium Society, Pet’s Playhouse, North American Native Fish Association, Sharon’s Cards, Harshbarger Hosta Society, Linn County Master Gardeners, ZD Crafts, Cook’s Honey and the Eastern Iowa Orchid Society.
