Moorhead Community Education

Join us as you embark on a learning garden tour in local Clay County MN gardens with stops in Moorhead, Dilworth & Glyndon. Stops include a local native prairie landscaped yard, a cut flower farm, large straw-bale garden, and more great local resident's gardens. Each site will have a host to share information on the garden as you get a closer look at all these great gardens in your local community and county. Tour is held rain or shine. Addresses will be emailed closer to the tour date and the tour will officially start at an unspecified location for packet pickup if paper copies are needed. Join us for a fun, exciting afternoon and evening of garden fun.
