Virtual Learning Garden Tour

Come along on the Hennepin County Master Gardener Volunteer Virtual Learning Garden Tour available now! 

Where: From the comfort of your own home or wherever you’re comfortable and connected. Do you have the winter blahs? Do you need a bit of inspiration for your garden planning? 

The tour features four beautiful and unique home gardens of Hennepin County Master Gardener Volunteers along with two focused educational opportunities that include tree care and pruning and when and how to plant your spring bulbs.
Log on anytime you want and as many times as you want. Like a garden design in the video? You can replay it as many times as you want. Need help learning on how to prune a tree? An educational video (as a part of the Virtual Garden Tour) will show you how it’s done. Go at your own pace, stop and start where you’d like, and review a specific garden segment again and again...as often you want from the comfort of your chair.

This virtual tour has something for everyone, and it’s easy and handy to access the tour when it’s convenient to you. 

Tickets are $12.To buy tickets and learn more about the Learning Garden Tour, please visit us
