“The show is designed for anyone who has any interest in flowers, lawns, landscapes or gardens," said Sherry McGill, Iowa State University Extension Education Director in Woodbury County. "Everyone will enjoy the quality speakers who will present and the commercial vendors who will demonstrate new ideas.”
