We had an amazing turnout for our first Winona County Master Gardener Learn and Grow with Us Garden Tour. We would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to all of the master gardeners that shared their time and talents, the garden tour hosts and hostesses that opened their gardens to share with the community, the numerous volunteers, the Winona County Extension Office, the U of M Extension program, Habitat for Humanity, the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and all the community members that attended the event. Without each and every one of you, this event wouldn't have been such a great success.
