There's still time to purchase tickets for the 2011 Hennepin County Master Gardener Learning Gardens Tour!

Save this date for a great garden tour experience....Saturday July 9, from 9am to 4pm

Here's your chance to view ten beautiful gardens designed and maintained by Master Gardeners, offering great inspiration along with the latest gardening techniques. Centered in the south Minneapolis/Hiawatha neighborhood this year's tour has a definite urban vibe with garden styles ranging from edibles to natives, cottage to contemporary.

As an extra added bonus, you're invited to see the community gardens at Sabathani Community Center where Urban Gardeners are making a delicious difference in their community.

Visit the Education Station at each garden for hands on demonstrations on topics such as vegetable growing, container gardens, composting and more. Ask a real live Master Gardener your most urgent gardening questions.

Make sure to stop and shop at The Garden Shed for our signature concrete leaves. Our Master Gardeners hand craft these unique birdbaths and stepping stones specifically for this tour. Gardening books, publications and calendars are available as well.

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the garden gate. For more information and how to buy tickets.
