The 2012 Upper Midwest Master Gardener Conference, July 19-21, was a great success! More than five hundred people participate as attendees, instructors and vendors, and the MN Landscape Arboretum was the perfect venue!
A special thank you to the Master Gardener volunteers who served on the planning committee and to our conference co-chairs, Diana Rankin (Kanabec Cty) and Pam Hartley (Anoka Cty). The conference was a success because of the planning committee's effort, creative ideas, and innovation! Thank you as well to the 80 U of M Extension Master Gardeners who volunteered to help during the conference.
