Vermont Garden Events 2012
Garden related events will be posted here regularly for Vermont and nearby areas for non-profit groups, and educational seminars for garden stores. You are encouraged to call prior to preregister or to check for more details (numbers are area code 802 unless otherwise noted). Many garden stores also offer periodic seminars, so please also check with ones in your area. A good place to start is the listing of Vermont Perennial Display Gardens. If you have an event, or know of one, that should be listed, please let us know the event, date and contact phone number (leonard.perry@uvm.edu). latest additions and updates 1/20/12
