TIPS FOR FEBRUARY

It's not to early to start planning  your garden for 2010!   See all of the new garden catalogs for new varieties and design ideas. Sign up for a garden class at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum or through the Minnesota State Horticulture Society.   You can find cheap classes taught by local horticulture experts. For just $2.00, you can visit the Margaret McNeely Conservatory at Como Park - a stroll through their collection of orchids, bromeliads, ferns, bonsai and palms is an uplifting experience during these cold winter months.

Sign up for our basket planting class - 2/25 or 2/27! Keep the bird feeders full this winter and enjoy the show.  Mark your calendar for the local March Community 'Expos', sponsored by the local Area Chamber of Commerce.    To be held on March 6th in Princeton and March 20th in Zimmerman.  Stop by our booth! Watch for the annual Home and Garden Show schedule dates in downtown Minneapolis.
