Presentations will take place in the gazebo. Master Gardener Volunteers will be available throughout the garden to answer gardening questions, and the “Ask a Master Gardener” online program will be on-site with information. A variety of beekeeper associations will answer questions about how to become a beekeeper and will show some of the equipment needed to get started.
