***********************************************************
Michigan State University Extension is pleased to present three Smart Gardening presentations at Windmill Island Gardens (WIG) this fall. Each evening class, paired with popcorn and cider, will be held rain or shine under WIG’s beautiful event tent or inside the visitor center, if the weather requires.
Classes have a nominal fee, that serves to fund the Windmill Island Gardens Smart Pollinator Garden which is maintained by MSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. The pollinator garden showcases a plethora of blooming plants that entice and nurture native pollinators all season long. Explore and enjoy this educational display located just a short stroll from WIG’s central village.
