Events 2010
The Men’s Garden Club of Minneapolis has events throughout the year.
Below is a calendar for the year 2010. Speakers and Special Events are
usually featured in our club newsletter The Garden Spray. The link each month's issue is under the heading for each month below. Click
on it to find out more about that month’s activities. Of course,
if we haven’t gotten to a particular month yet, there will be no
link because the Spray has not yet been published. Use this link to find copies of the Spray from 2001 to 2009. To read the Spray you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader which you can download from here.
Also, Chuck Carlson has created a graphic calendar for each month including some of the entrants and winners from the MGCM photography show. You can access the entire calendar here or month-by-month by clicking on the link in each month below.
Each year as part of Flower, Food and Foto Show in August we select the best photographs submitted. You can view the winners for the past few years by clicking here.
