Monroe County Master Gardener Fair is Saturday, April 15

BLOOMINGTON – The Monroe County Master Gardener Fair is Saturday, April 15 from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. and is free to attend. A gray dogwood seedling will be given to the first 300 guests.

The event will be held at Switchyard Park Pavilion 1601 South Rogers Street.

Helping gardeners and communities learn and grow is one of the fair’s primary missions.
