McHenry Co. EMG Field Trip - Madison Garden Expo 2/8/20

 

Please join the McHenry County Extension Master Gardeners as we take a bus trip to the Wisconsin Garden Expo, on Saturday, February 8th.  We will leave from the McHenry County Extension office promptly at 8:30 am, arriving approximately 10:30am.  The bus will return to the McHenry County Extension office at approximately 5:30pm.  Please register all guests separately so we have an accurate count.  There is a $35 per person fee, which includes water and snacks on the bus, as well as entrance ticket to the show.

 

This is similar to the Chicago Flower & Garden Show with more vendors and educational classes. For a complete list of vendors, go to their website which is www.WiGardenExpo.com . The list of educational breakout sessions can be found at the above website, also.

 

Garden Expo Features • Learn new techniques at more than 150 free seminars and demos • Explore 85,000 square feet of vendors, plant professionals, nonprofits and artists sharing ideas and trends. • Meet dozens of landscaping professionals who can help deliver your landscape dream. • Talk with UW horticulture experts on hand for innovative tips and problem-solving. • Relax in the tranquil central garden— courtesy of Wisconsin Nursery & Landscape Association. • Purchase seeds, tools and everything else you need to be ready when the ground thaws.

 

Trip is NON-refundable unless trip is cancelled due to lack of participation (or someone is willing to buy your ticket!).

 

Concessions are located in the lobby, exhibition hall and atrium. Options include salads, soup, sandwiches, coffee, yogurt and pastries. The Alliant Energy Center maintains a strict policy that no outside food can be brought into the show.
