Spring Garden Planning
9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m.
Spring is just right around the corner and it is never too early to start planning your vegetable or flower garden. Join us as we walk you through garden design for problem areas, restoring neglected gardens, how to get more bang for your buck out of vegetable gardening, and changing a site from shade to sun when Mother Nature makes that decision for you. Bring photos or drawings (need not be professional) of your proposed garden design and/or location and we will talk about your concerns and share ideas.
Hands-on session.
Saturday, March 3
Spring - Transition Season
9:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m
By March, we are itching to plant something so why not learn what you can successfully plant during the transition from late winter to early spring. Learn what cool season flowers and vegetables will fulfill the desire to dig in the soil after a long winter. Get a jump on your garden season with this exciting program and have flowers blooming by May 1 and harvest cool season vegetables for the fresh taste of spring. Hands-on session.
Location: Gillespie Center, 2590 Commerce Blvd., Mound MN
