Please join us for a delicious lunch, followed by guest speaker, Julie Weisenhorn, Extension Horticulturist, for the state of Minnesota. Julie holds master’s degrees in both visual communication and horticulture from the University of Minnesota, where she taught landscape design, and served as state director of the Master Gardener Program. In her current position, Julie has statewide responsibility for horticulture teaching, research and outreach, with special focus on plant selection, and sustainable residential landscape design. One of Julie’s most recent projects was the design and installation of The Foodscape Garden, which surrounds Myers Education Center at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. In addition to all this, she also appears regularly on WCCO’s Smart Gardens radio show. In Julie’s own words, “This is the best job I have ever had!”
