MINNEAPOLIS - Arc’s Value Village Thrift Stores have good things for the garden (and the porch and the patio) at the Dig It! Garden Shop, open April 21-23 at all three stores.

Bring out your inner Martha and indulge in a wide selection of gardening merchandise and garden-inspired décor items, including garden accessories and ornaments, books, silk flowers, decorative pots and other seasonal items for indoor and outdoor garden spaces. Everything at Dig It! is value priced, so you can afford to let your creativity bloom!

As part of the Dig It! festivities, there will be a free workshop on composting conducted by a master gardener. The workshop will be held on Saturday, April 22, from 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. at Arc’s Value Village, 6528 Penn Ave. S., Richfield.

The workshop is funded by a grant from the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board.
