Wednesday, 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM, on the 3rd week of each month ( April 20th through September 14th, 2016)
Do you want to learn how to grow your own vegetables? Hennepin County Master Gardeners will guide you through the growing season until harvest time, addressing all your home garden questions. Sessions will feature hands-on activities working the common communal plot at the park.
