UF/IFAS Escambia Extension is partnering with Florida Master Gardeners for this year’s Fall Garden Festival, held Saturday, Oct. 8 from 8-11 a.m. The annual event takes place at the Escambia Extension Office, located at 3740 Stefani Road, and is free to the public.
During the event, attendees will have the chance to participate in demonstrations, informative talks, plant giveaways and more. The Extension office’s demonstration gardens will serve as a backdrop to feature discussion topics including growing edible plants and herbs, alternatives to lawns, milkweeds, share gardening, hydrangea care and composting. The gardens will also be open for those who simply wish to stroll through for plant ideas. In addition, Florida Master Gardeners will be available for questions on gardening and selecting the right plants for your yard.
For questions about the event, please contact Beth Bolles, UF/IFAS Escambia Extension Horticulture Agent IV, at bbolles@ufl.edu or 850-475-5230, ext. 1140. Follow Escambia Extension on Facebook for information on workshops and events, healthy recipes, gardening tips and more.
