Minnesota Hardy

If you missed the Landscaping program that was offered by the University of Minnesota Exstension Office, you can still pick up a copy of their book, "Minnesota Hardy: Showcasing new and Enduring Plants for Your Landscape".

The Minnesota climate presents unique challenges to gardeners.  The University maintains 10 Research and Outreach Centers where breeders and field assistants conduct numerous field trials.  The free booklet is meant to help you make informed choices, whether you want to add a few hardy shrubs and flowers to your yard, or plant hundreds of grape plants in a commerccial vineyard.
