There will be three different mini workshops held at three of the gardens including the topics of: composting, perennials for small places, and hydrangeas.
Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is hosting the 2018 Fruit and Vegetable Field Day on Monday, Aug. 6, 2018 at the Iowa State University Horticulture Research Station near Ames. The annual event will feature various research and demonstration projects on fruit and vegetable production for commercial growers, extension personnel, non-profit organizations, and Master Gardeners.
Free event in Cherokee, Iowa.
This field day will begin with a visit to a newly seeded plot of pollinator habitat. Next, we will visit existing plots in their 2nd and 4th year since planting. Local wildlife biologists will be speaking about establishment and proper maintenance, i.e., mowing, spraying, and the signs that indicate a healthy stand of native forbs and grasses. We will end our field day by returning to The Grainery and eating a meal provided by Nichol’s Smokin’ BBQ while the local NRCS and FSA staff answers any other questions the group has.
