I know spring is near because the Minneapolis Home + Garden Show is almost here.

Minnesota State Horticultural Society has been involved in this event since 1978, when we first sponsored garden talks at the Green Scene Theater (now known as the Green Thumb Theater). Today, we continue to sponsor this stage and bring an eclectic lineup of local experts on gardening topics ranging from growing oyster mushrooms in your kitchen to creating a wildlife habitat in your yard. Check out this year's lineup.

What about those excellent quality and affordable bulbs, tubers, corms and seeds? You'll find those in our booth! Find bare-root plants, tubers, bulbs and corms—all plants that can be kept dormant until the growing season. And a carefully selected variety of seeds from Seed Savers Exchange that will thrive using the winter outdoor seed sowing technique so popular these days.

So come by our booth and say hello! We'd love to chat with you about plant care, gardening tips or anything else that's on your mind. Don't forget, Society members receive two free tickets to the show. Society, Affiliated and Digital members enjoy 15% off all plant material at our booth. Not a member yet? Join now or at the show for free tickets and the plant discount.

I hope to see you at the show!
