At Eastern Market, May flowers will follow April's showers, and snow — even during a pandemic.

Last year, in-person Flower Day was canceled, and the popular farmers market resorted to virtual orders instead. You could still see a colorful processional of pickups via a Facebook livestream. 

But this year, the tradition is back, but in a scaled-down format.

In addition to the 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday Market, flower vendors will be selling from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on four consecutive Tuesdays beginning next week through May 25, mostly in Shed 6.

The vendors will be spaced, and masks will be required.

In addition to the flowers, a limited-edition print by local artist KaCeyKal!, will be available along with T-shirts and other posters. But, unlike last year, everything will be sold in-person.

The Flower Day tradition dates to the 1960s, when southeastern Michigan was one of the nation's largest producers of bedding plants. In 1966, a group of 20 growers formed the Metro Detroit Flower Growers Association. 

That year, the group held its first Flower Day was held at the Michigan State Fairgrounds as a flower exhibition. The next year the event was moved to Eastern Market, where growers could display — and sell — their flowers.
