Project Overview
Garden blogger Stacey Weichert discussed how her rural Waseca garden landed on the cover of Country Gardens magazine. She gave a PowerPoint presentation on the process of creating this garden from scratch, how the magazine altered the color of her fence in the magazine, how long the publishing process took, what article she was working with Country Gardens on now, and other gardening stories. She brought heirloom plants and was a delightful presenter.
