Saturday is the Big Day!
The self-guided 7th Annual Learning Garden Tour is on for this Saturday, from 09:00 to 4:00. All of the gardens were designed and are maintained by University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardeners in Hennepin County.
The weather promises to be fantastical! Sun, light breeze, and no bugs. Saturday will be the best day of this weekend.
Master Gardeners will be on-site to answer all of your gardening questions. Educational and demonstration stations include: shade gardening, attracting pollinators, introduction to basic veggie gardening, composting, hop growing and beer making, rain gardens (watch it being built!), perennials, container gardening, fairy gardens, and much more. So get out there! Look and learn!
