Mableton Day is Saturday, May 16th at the Mable House Complex. The day begins with the Mableton 5K and Mableton Jr. Fun Run, and continues with live entertainment, classic cars, vendors, arts and crafts, kids' corner and more! 

Mableton Day is an all-volunteer effort produced by the Mableton Day Coalition, a joint effort of MIC, the South Cobb Arts Alliance and the Amateur Advocate Association.  Click here to email the Mableton Day Coalition.

The Cobb County Master Gardeners will present their annual Plant Sale and Garden Fair on April 24th and 25th.  Located in the covered Equestrian Center at Jim Miller Park, come and shop among hundreds of plants from the gardens of the Master Gardeners - iris, lilies, annuals, hellebores, ferns, hostas, perennials, native plants, shrubs, and trees.  Vendors will also offer specialty plantings and items such as yard art, sculptures, planters, birdhouses, crafts, and much more.  Jim Miller Park is located at 2225 Callaway Road in Marietta.  

Cobb County Master Gardeners volunteer their time in the community to advance horticultural knowledge and promote interest in gardening.  MIC is indebted to two Master Gardeners, Terri Carter and Lallie Hayes, and for their leadership at our Historic Mableton Community Garden as well as Linda Hlozansky for her help in minding the herb and kitchen gardens at the Mable House For more information on Cobb County Master Gardeners, including how to become a Master Gardener, click here.
