Master Gardeners will also be giving talks/demonstrations on a variety of subjects. This is a family-friendly event and there will be a kids corner with a guided workshop on DIY seed bombs. There will also be a number of local vendors sharing information and products on a variety of topics including health and wellness, horticulture, and conservation. This event is free and open to the public.
