  Growing Connections

  Join us for a new social and educational eight-week series, taught by Extension Master Gardener Volunteers from the University of Minnesota, for people living with early dementia or mild cognitive impairment and their care partners. 

  This series, in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association (Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter), will share the joy of growing plants, social connections, and cultural outings.

  Growing Connections provides an opportunity to increase overall well-being, build friendships and communities, raise awareness of living well with dementia, and inspire hope, meaning, and purpose.
