More Than A Garden has come to an end. An exhibit that was made possible with support from many directions.

The Dryden Horticultural Society as a whole and individual members shared content and items to support a local community group feature, hand tools to accent the displays, and encouraged visitation during the annual garden tour.

Root to Bloom who helped make our What's Growin' in the Garden interactive come to life with garden items to inspect, smell, and ponder.

AgriTech North who shared knowledge and spruced up our displays.

And funding from DTDC which allowed for the exhibit and marketing to come to fruition!
