Gardening in a Warming Northern Climate

All of the evidence continues to point to a warming climate in northern Minnesota.

What does this mean for northern gardeners?

Join us on April 21st when we will explore climate trends and new plant options available to northern gardeners. Hands on workshops, specialty lectures, and informational displays will complete a fantastic celebration of northern gardening.

The program fee is $40 for the program, Workshop Sessions, reference materials, lunch, and refreshments. Some Workshop Sessions have an additional $5 materials fee. The reference book may be purchased separately after April 21st for $25. Please click here to view the brochure.
