Mushrooms, Bees, Containers: What's Up at the Garden Show
The next two weeks are a great time to get excited about the garden season ahead with two major home and garden shows. Today is the first day of the Minnesota Home & Patio Show at RiverCentre in St. Paul.
MSHS is sponsoring a great group of garden speakers (see the list and time below). The garden stage is near our booth at the show. Be sure to stop at the booth to sign up for membership in MSHS and get a discount. Those who join or renew at the show get $5 off their membership and pick up a great Northern Gardener gift bag filled with fertilizer, a package of milkweed seeds (great for Monarch butterflies) and catalogs and information.
