We are back! Take a walk with Master Gardeners, and learn about native plants, invasive plants, pollinators and other wildlife, garden design, and other features that come alive in the garden through the seasons!
Cindy Hogeman leading a Walk and Talk at the Five Senses Garden
Gather inspiration for your garden and gain unique information about these local gardens and parks by learning to identify plants, some of their pollinators, other wildlife, plant diseases, and soil or location preferences. Plants also have 'secrets', such as being deer repellant, toxic or invasive, and we'll share some of them with you. We are trained horticulturists and are eager to share our knowledge with you.
Participants can choose to walk only a portion. This program is free and open to all ages, but an adult must accompany all children. Register below!
