The goal of the talks and book is to present botany, horticulture and plant science in gardener terminology, simplifying complex information and offering useful advice based on the most current research. The first 90 minutes will be presentation, with the final 30 minutes open for questions specific to participants' own situations and experiences. Register for the series to receive a discount, as well as a free copy of Ed Lyon's accompanying book, Growing the Midwest Garden; or sign up for individual classes to suit your interests.
The Midwest is a region unlike any other in the country, with its own set of challenges. If you read national gardening magazines, you have probably been frustrated when much of the information is not applicable to your situation. But knowledge is power, and when you know the specifics behind the Midwest's unique characteristics, it will provide you with a valuable background of how to use the information to be a successful gardener. We will also look at specific ways that Iowa differs from other areas of the Midwest.
