In this festive episode of The Garden Dirt, we’re joined by special guest Jill Ackerman from the Marion Chamber of Commerce to talk all things Marion during the holidays - a time of year that truly feels like living inside a Hallmark movie.

We chat about the town’s small-town charm, the upcoming holiday events, and a couple of exciting projects on the horizon - including a peek at what’s coming in 2026. Jill also shares why supporting local businesses is so important, especially during the holiday season.
