Panora residents who enjoyed attending the farmers market in the summer can continue to do so with help from a local business.

 

Panorama Gardens Floral Manager Rachee Lombard says that they had the idea to start the Morning Markets to keep the wonderful sense of community from outdoor markets going even after those markets finished for the year. She shares they didn’t want to miss out on their favorite small-town Iowa charm, handmade treats and unique goods, and wanted to keep that going for the community too, so they decided to hold the indoor markets.

 

Lombard mentions that anyone can stop in and check out the many vendors and products that are at each market, and that it has been amazing getting to know everyone, from attendees to vendors and those just stopping in. She adds that Panorama Gardens is also a pet friendly store, so you can bring your pet along with you, as long as they’re leashed. Lombard explains that anyone that sells goods in the local area can take part as a vendor, with the exception of floral or plant sales due to them being a floral shop as well. Morning Markets take place at Panorama Gardens from 9am to noon on Saturdays, from now until May 2, 2026.
