Spring is a great time to explore a hobby, learn a new skill or try a fun activity. As light and energy increase, we’re eager for adventure and change. Start planning your garden with a workshop at a nursery or garden club. Research the best plants and arrangements for your outdoor spaces before digging in. Beautiful yards lead to meals and parties alfresco, ideal for classes at Cooks|Bellecour or tastings at Edina Liquor.
If summer travel excites you, now’s the time to take a language class or advance your photography skills. The Spanish Institute, Alliance Française, the American Swedish Institute and National Camera Exchange offer programs to help you make the most of your vacation.

Already missing winter? Take a knitting class at Harriet & Alice, or commit to a fitness course at the Loppet Foundation’s Trailhead at Theodore Wirth Park. You’ll be ready for the trails and slopes by fall. Edina Parks & Recreation offers a variety of activities from golf lessons at Braemar to painting, pickleball and local field trips.
Welcome spring with something new and invigorating to warm up your skills and social life.
