Vermont Garden Events
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).
