Wow! What a lot of terrific talks there were at last weekend’s Minneapolis Home and Garden Show. The show continues this weekend and we have more great garden speakers who will be answering your questions on everything from gardening for pollinators to growing native plants to gardening for those of us who are a little bit lazy.

It’s a great line up with something for every gardener and home owner. We hope you will come out to see these talks.
