Registrations are being taken for the 12th annual New Ventures Gardening Seminar to inspire gardeners on March 17 at Northwood School, Minong.
The event is hosted by Spooner Garden Club, North Country Master Gardeners, and Northwood Community Education.
Gardeners will be able to welcome spring with a day of camaraderie, shopping with garden-related vendors, great food and four informative sessions:
- Master Gardener Meleah Maynard and University of Minnesota Horticulture Professor Jeff Gillman offer "Decoding Gardening Advice: The Science Behind the 100 Most Common Recommendations."
- Maynard talks about the 10 mistakes even experienced gardeners make and how to avoid them.
- Scott Wald presents "Succulent Succulents."
- The seminar presents "A Chemical Reaction," an award-winning released in 2009.
Seminars run from 9:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., with registration and vendor sales beginning at 8:30 a.m. Registration is required by mailing in $14, which includes lunch and snacks, with name, phone number, and address. Register at least a week in advance so enough food and handouts are available.
Vendors with any kind of garden-related products are invited, too.
