SEED + BULB
19TH ANNUAL GARDENING SHOW
Porter County Master Gardeners are excited to bring a vibrant Seed and Bulb Area to our Gardening Show. Attendees can explore an extensive selection of seeds and bulbs, from beautiful flowers to vegetables and an array of bulbs. Our goal is to inspire budding gardeners and seasoned green thumbs alike to cultivate their own gardens and bring their outdoor spaces to life. Join us for a day of discovery and plant some seeds of inspiration!
