Gardening is one of America’s most popular hobbies, and rightfully so. It not only relaxes and soothes the mind, but also burns calories and can produce food for your family. At Five Rivers MetroParks, we have a wide variety of gardening and horticultural programs. From walks to workshops, festivals to full-day seminars there’s something for everyone, whether you are a beginner or a Master Gardener.
