Upcoming Programs and Events
Gardening with Wildlife
Do you enjoy watching nature outside your window? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, and other four-legged visitors to your garden can be entertaining but also very destructive. During this program we will explore what you can do to enjoy wildlife without the destruction to your garden.
Tree Health
Sometimes a tree's biggest pest is the homeowner. Tree health can be difficult to determine, but routinely checking your tree may help you notice problems as they appear. During this presentation we will discuss common mistakes homeowners make when planting and maintaining their trees as well as the most common issues that cause tree decline in the landscape and how to identify them.
Summer Learning Institute
To uphold the highest standards in school nutrition, the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act (HHFKA) requires all school nutrition professionals to complete annual training to meet USDA Professional Standards.
