Garden Programs

The program will start with an update on the community garden project and the plans and goals for 2026, followed by a discussion focusing on a specific aspect of gardening.
For kids, Chanhassen will present a special storytime to celebrate spring on Wednesday, April 29 at 10:30 a.m., featuring the Carver-Scott Master Gardeners.
