Ready, Set, Grow! For the 14^th straight year, the Brainerd Garden Expo is giving everyone who attends a little spring fever. This year’s expo featured over 20 different presentations for gardeners to sit in on, as well as over 25 vendors of various outdoor products. By the time this year’s event had come and gone they had already been sold out of their 300 tickets for almost a month, making this one of the most popular shows in the state. And it’s just a great way to get in the spring spirit while learning about something these people love to do.  But with gardeners coming in from all over the state, the garden expo is especially great for the local businesses and community of the Brainerd Lakes Area.
