Plan ahead to make the most out of your trip to the garden center

Your local garden center or greenhouse will likely be busy this time of year, so it's a good idea to do come prepared. Don and John spend this episode sharing their ripened wisdom on how to get the most out of your trip to the garden center, from having the dimensions of your planting area at hand to the first thing you should do when you get your new plants home. === "Growing Together: A Gardening Podcast" is a show for gardeners in the upper Midwest and is based in Fargo, North Dakota. Don Kinzler is a horticulturist with NDSU Extension in Cass County, a lifelong gardener, and a trusted resource for gardeners throughout our region. Co-host John Lamb is an arts and entertainment reporter for The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. John bought a house a few years ago and has taken up gardening, so he has a lot of questions for Don.
