(Atlantic) The 2023 Cass County Master Gardeners’ Spring Garden Seminar features a theme of “Gardening for Life” and aims to provide information and inspiration to gardeners of all skill levels.
The seminar will be held April 1st. The morning session will be held at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic, with a new optional luncheon and afternoon bus tour to two local garden destinations: the Cass County Healing Garden and Rolling Acres Organic Farm.
Kate Olson, Cass County Extension Program Coordinator, said the event begins with registration and a light continental breakfast at 8:30 AM. The first session beings at 9 AM, and will feature Aaron Steil, Consumer Horticulture Specialist for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.
In between the two general sessions, attendees will enjoy 60 minutes of “lightning learning sessions” where they will have the opportunity to rotate between short presentations on topics including food donation gardening, pollinator gardens, the benefits of gardening for health, and small space gardening.
A full schedule and registration form are available for pickup at the Cass County Extension office, or online at www.extension.iastate.edu/cass. Previous seminar attendees with a current address on record will also receive a brochure with a registration form in the mail or by email.
