The Northeast Iowa Horticulture Chautauqua will be held on Saturday, March 3 from 9 am to 3 pm at the New Hampton Middle School. March is the month that most gardeners come out of hibernation. Pruning, raking, tilling and clean-up will start in earnest. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach can help you ease into the bustle and have some fun by coming to the 9th Annual Horticulture Chautauqua in New Hampton. The Chautauqua was popular 100 years ago when people attended lectures for current information. Today, everything is on the internet, but it is still hard to beat a real person who can answer your questions!
