The Beltrami County Master Gardeners invite you to our Spring Garden Party! This educational event will feature 3 local experts, door prizes, refreshments, and informational booths to help our community get the gardening season kicked off! Jim Walla, Ph.D., will present on The Edible Forest in Fargo, focusing on the display gardens and tours available to the public.
