Hi. I am totally blind and seeking a gardener who can help me imagine and take care of a small flower garden. I live in Clearwater MN 55320 zip. I have begun creating a fragrant garden with lilacs, mums and hopefully some fragrant lilies like Stargazers. Is there a volunteer who could teach me some basics: how to plant, prune and winterize my little garden and fill it out with some additional flowers? Thank you.

Expert Response
Cherise, Thanks for the question. As Master gardeners we do not make site visits. However, we are passionate gardeners and always willing to volunteer. Wright County has a very active master gardener group. I suggest that you contact that group directly to seek assistance with your fragrant garden, which sounds like a wonderful idea so that you can enjoy the beauty of flowers. The direct number to that group is<personal data hidden>, leave a messaged and someone will get back to you.
