Don’t miss the 2nd annual Hennepin County Master Gardener Learning Gardens Tour on July 11!

Visit ten beautiful gardens designed and maintained by Master Gardeners to discover amazing inspiration along with the latest gardening techniques; all clustered in a convenient 14-mile route.

Master Gardeners will be on hand to answer all gardening questions. On-site gardening demonstrations will provide an educational dimension, for both beginning and advanced gardeners, not found on other garden tours.

Learn how to maximize space with vertical gardening, use foliage and texture to create four-season interest, grow delicious fruits and vegetables at home, and build a rain garden to name just a few of the exciting themes on this year’s tour.

The 2009 Learning Gardens Tour has a garden to fascinate everyone with an emphasis on sustainability and productivity whether it is a woodland sanctuary, hilltop oasis or urban farm all nestled in the city.

Oh, I dunno. Using “peak” is a nice duble entendre: peak season, peak performance….
