GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — The late spring shouldn’t have a huge impact on home gardeners, according to Barb DeGroot of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

DeGroot says the Arboretum’s experts say the best indicator of when to plant is soil temperature.  Different plants require different temperatures for optimum growth, so you may want to invest in a good soil thermometer.

The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum offers a variety of classes for beginning and expert gardeners.  Saturday and Sunday May 18th-19th the Arboretum will feature the annual Auxiliary Spring Plant Sale from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

For those who just want to view the plants, DeGroot says the tulips are out and gorgeous.
