Growing Minds Conference Ticket & Tour 4: Behind the Scenes with Gertens

Over 100 years since opening, Gertens is one of the Twin Cities largest family-owned garden centers! Tour participants will be treated to a peek into what it takes to cater to the metro population with year-round seasonal plants and decorations, including seeing what’s in store for the winter retail season. Attendees will interact with Gertens Production Team and visit their grow yard to discover the STEM involved in raising plants as well as the many additional curricular and career connections. There will also be time to explore Gerten’s retail garden center and greenhouses. This tour is sure to leave participants with great ideas of how to build community with their own locally-owned greenhouses and schools.
