Chuck Hafner’s Garden Center (7265 Buckley Road, North Syracuse, NY 13212) is like a garden lover’s Disneyland.

If you head over there today, be prepared for the crowds.  I stopped by yesterday and I had to circle the parking lot twice before I found a parking space!

They will be open 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM for the second day of the Clayscapes Pottery Market.  Vendors are housed in the greenhouse portion of the store.

It is so amazing how well designed these little mini ceramics stores look.  It must take tremendous effort to install the shops for a two-day event and coupled with the fragility of the merchandise, I offer respect.

Oh, and P.S. – not sure what they will have left to sell today – there were a lot of transactions happening yesterday.  Many people mentioned they were there buying holiday gifts!

One of these days, I will splurge on a Peter Valenti bird themed piece.  Maybe in a few years once my Jamey decides he is bored with jumping up on counters and swatting things down (he has broken three pots and two glass shelves so far).
