Learning can be done outside the classroom. The hosts for the Nancy Zwickey Memorial Garden Tour are all "lifelong learners" and educators and have spent some time preparing their gardens for you. Come learn about a unique garden mulch or the latest in seed trials or enjoy the butterflies and other pollinators. In spite of this July heat, you can enjoy the beauty of mid-summer gardens. Contact the Lifelong Learners office by noon on Friday to obtain the addresses. Call 507-389-2011 or e-mail [email protected].
