Everything from gardening tips, advice and plant sales to live music to tips on getting outdoors and taking a hike without messing up the ecosystem.

Did you know a few of the “Leave No Trace” principles of enjoying things like hiking and camping is to leave what you find and to “pack it in, pack it out”?
LISA DENTON: I’m in full support of keeping the woods clean, so I try not to be gone so long that I have to do as the bears do.
BARRY: Become the Pope?
LISA: There really are a lot of events this week, a bunch of them outdoors. The Spring Native Plant Sale is Thursday through Saturday at Reflection Riding. Crabtree Farms plans its Spring Plant Sale on Friday through Sunday. The Master Your Garden Expo, put on by the Master Gardeners of Hamilton County, will be Saturday and Sunday at Camp Jordan.
