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.
Many people have a preconceived idea that Midwestern gardening is prairie based. Even though the prairie is crucial to this region, Midwestern gardening is about acknowledging all Midwest conditions. Design is an important consideration for gardeners and transcends locality; no gardener should feel constrained in creativity by their specific location. We will discuss design elements that guide the aesthetic and talk about how to use garden accessories and augment your style. Express yourself!
Preregistration with prepayment is required by Wednesday, October 28. Cost is $20 for members and $25 for the general public. Iowa State University students pay 15% off the member price.
