A new presentation on "Fruits" is coming! Sorry for the delay.
A great publication on diseases of vegetables and fruits by our own Carl Rosen and Peter Bierman: Diagnosing Nutrient Disorders in Fruit and Vegetable Crops
Created by Kelsey Sparks and Charlene Gruber, Master of Ag students in our department, this presentation, Plot Style Community Gardening in MN, was created for YOU, Master Gardeners, to have as a teaching tool. It is designed to help you teach community gardeners about being part of a community garden, how to plan their plots, and about the maintenance of their new gardens throughout the season. Have fun!

How do you keep track of what you do in your garden? I am writing to share a survey targeted to gardening enthusiasts. The
survey is part of a University of Minnesota student's capstone
project for her Master of Ag in Horticulture degree. Her project
centers on developing an online tool to track gardening efforts. The
purpose of the survey is to understand if and how gardeners track and
record their gardening efforts.
It is a short survey and all responses are anonymous. Here is the
link: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/gardener
If you decide to complete the survey, your participation is greatly appreciated by the student. Thanks for your help!

I recently met an artist named Margo McCreary who is developing a raingarden
puppet show. She is interested in
performing the show at events around town.
I thought some of you might be interested in a show like this for your
events this year. Margo will present the show on Saturday, March 20 at 10:00 am
and again at Noon at In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theater at 1500
E. Lake Street in Minneapolis. Feel free to put this on your calendars.
The presentations Shrubs 1 & 2 are up and working. Thanks for your patience!
