PALMER — Hundreds of people flocked to the annual Palmer Midsummer Garden and Art Faire Saturday to celebrate local art and gardening.

Various vendors, live music, a recipe swap and how-to workshops were at locations around downtown Palmer throughout the day.

Workshops ranged from drum-making to the growing of wild herbs for healing, to photography and raku fired pottery.

The faire also was combined with this month’s Palmer Art Walk.
