GARDENING FROM THE GROUND UP WEBINAR SERIES
I think all of us would agree; with this cold snap that we ve been experiencing, and how much we Minnesotans love to spend time outside, we can t wait for spring to arrive.
In the meantime, I ve found a great series that can help you prepare yourself for spring.
The University of Minnesota Extension local educators are excited to bring you the 2nd annual Gardening from the Group Up webinar series.
This free webinar series will take place February 16-19, 2021 from 1:00-2:30 pm each afternoon. You can sign up for just one class, or for all of them. The topics that will be covered include the following:

The holiday season is upon us and what a different holiday season it is! As is tradition, our Horticulture team has put together gift ideas for your favorite gardener to help them get a jump on the season, make tasks easier, and to inspire and create their yard and garden in 2021.
There is nothing better than a really great
hand pruner! Using a quality pruner and keeping it maintained properly avoids damaging plant stems and makes gardening tasks so much easier. A bypass pruner cuts stems and branches without crushing them. A favorite basic pruner of mine are my Felco bypass pruners, and for smaller pruning and snipping jobs, I like Dramm pruners. I carry one in my car along with my favorite gloves because you never know when you might need to prune something!
