Planning Your Spring Garden with a Master Gardener

As the snow melts and the first hints of green appear, it’s time to get your hands in the dirt and prepare for your spring garden! We are excited to partner with Master Gardeners for a practical, seasonal lecture designed to give your garden the best possible start. The University of Minnesota Extension Master Gardener Program is a cornerstone of horticultural education in our state. Since 1977, these dedicated volunteers have shared research-based gardening knowledge with their communities, helping Minnesotans grow everything from sustainable prairies to bountiful vegetable patches. Whether you have a sprawling farm or a single balcony planter, come learn how to make 2026 your most successful growing season yet!

$5 for non-members. FREE for HCOC members.
