Come join us for a fun-filled day! Kicking off this exciting event will be a keynote presentation, followed by three jam-packed breakout speaker sessions held throughout the day. There's something for everyone. Take a look at the Spring Days Schedule as well as the list of Speakers & Topics

Of course, the day wouldn’t be complete without opportunities to visit the University of Minnesota’s own Master Gardeners, who will be on hand to answer all of your gardening questions! Vendors will also be plentiful, offering a variety of products and services to enhance your gardening experience. The popular goody bags, a silent auction and door prizes will round out the day.

Cost is $35 for those who pre-register by March 23rd or $40 the day of the event. Price includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and take-home educational materials. [Note that we cannot accept credit cards the day of the event. On site registration must be either cash or check.]

For lunch we will be having your choice of a ham or turkey sandwich, or a salad. Each option will come with chips, a cookie, water or coffee. We are unfortunately unable to offer alternative options for those with special dietary needs this year, so please plan accordingly.
