Growing Thru Gardening Expo
8am to 4pm @
Minnetrista Cultural Center
A free Growing Thru Gardening Expo will be held at Minnetrista Cultural Center in Muncie on Saturday October 12 from 9 to 4. The event will be open to the public; no advance registration is required.
Four expert speakers will present information about various aspects of gardening during the day. There will also be demonstrations, information booths, Make and Take projects, and an activity area for children. Door prizes will be awarded at various times throughout the day. Silent auctions of gifts donated by local businesses and individuals will be conducted in the morning and again in the afternoon.
The program is presented by the Master Gardeners of Delaware County, an organization that extends Purdue University’s Extension Service to the public. More details will be posted to our website (https://delcomastergardener.org/) and our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DelcoMGAssociation/) .
Minnetrista’s several gardens present opportunities to spend some peaceful time outside. And, of course, the Farmers’ Market will be in the adjacent Minnetrista Orchard Shop area until noon. What a great way to spend a Saturday this fall!
