GARDEN DAYS-
-Brainerd
Spring brings a special magic to gardeners. Even before the snow melts and the soil warms, true gardeners start to dream about seeds, planting, produce, projects, and landscapes. Master Gardeners in many counties help make these dreams turn into reality by offering educational "Garden Days". Most of these events feature a wide range of topics presented in short sessions, allowing attendees to sit in on several presentations throughout the day.
