Summer is finally in full swing and that means it's time again for the annual Hennepin County Master Gardener Learning Garden Tour.
There are lots of great garden tours in the Twin Cities however ours will not only inspire but inform you on the latest gardening techniques and trends guaranteed to give you that green thumb you've always wanted. And it's easier than you think. You'll see six beautiful gardens designed and maintained by Master Gardeners in south Minneapolis, Edina and Bloomington.
Check out WCCO's video shot recently at one of the tour gardens. Larry Cipolla grows a prolific vegetable garden surrounded by a lush landscape filled with birdsong that includes nine water features, a hosta glade, Japanese Tea house and zen garden.
From rain gardens to roses, feng shui to fairy gardens this tour has something for everyone. Learn how one couple is transitioning their lovely garden to lower maintenance as they age. Marvel at one gardener who starts thousands of seeds every season. See herb vinegars and veggie experiments, plus a beer brewing demo. There's plenty more...
As always there will be Master Gardeners on hand to answer all your urgent gardening questions. Get the real dirt on gardening techniques at our Education Stations. Shop at the Garden Shed for garden related crafts and publications; we've been busy creating hypertufa pots and plantings and the unlikely "Buckthorn Bucks". And of course the raptors will be back.
