Garden Talks with Local Master Gardeners

Atypical Tree Choices for Landscapes with Nick Williams

Join us for a presentation by Master Gardener Nick Williams on unusual trees for the Minnesota landscape.

Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for our Master Gardener series, presented by U of M Extension Becker County Master Gardeners. Master Gardeners are University of Minnesota-trained volunteers whose mission is to educate the public about a variety of horticulture subjects using readily-available, up-to-date research-based information. The Master Gardener Program educational effort is designed to enhance the public’s quality of life and to promote good stewardship of the environment.

October's presentation will focus on unusual trees for the Minnesota landscape and will be hosted by Master Gardener Nick Williams. There are twelve unusual trees that grow in this area, but are rarely seen as landscape specimens or in yards. Our focus will be on why biodiversity among trees is so important, where to get some of these trees, and what to do with them once you have them.
