A Great Opportunity for A Gardening Field Trip!

How about visiting the Iowa Arboretum  this coming Saturday, November 19, 2011?  From 9:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., they're hosting a Holiday Gift Shop Sale.  This is the first of several Holiday activities in which you might choose to participate.  Click on these words to visit their official site.

What about trekking to Ames' Reiman Gardens Thursday, December 1 or Saturday, December 3 to participate in a Wreath-making workshop with Reiman staff?  You would have to pre-register.  There are also several other December activities in which you may be interested.  Click on these words to visit Reiman Garden's site.

Perhaps you'd like to stay in your home and read some very interesting articles on the ISU Extension site:

And perhaps you'd like to travel all around the state, viewing twelve of Iowa's lovely public gardens, while still in the comfort of your own home?  A description of the 2012 Calendar can be found here (click these words), and the calendar itself is available at our local Extension Office!
