Prior to the exam, at 8:30 am, Cheryl Rich will conduct a Q&A session on Plant ID. This will be a great opportunity for anyone who has passed other sections of the exam, but needs to retake the Plant ID section. There will be a $10 fee for participating in this Plant ID review.

Community Outreach Project
Fall: Date and Location TBD
Community Outreach Project:
Each year requests are submitted to our organization to request our expertise in landscaping a particular locale. It is our difficult task to choose a project deserving of our attention. Once chosen, a landscape is designed, plants and materials are donated by our membership in a coordinated effort, and we descend upon the site for the installation. It is an amazing to see a site transformed so quickly by many experienced hands. Equipment and materials quickly move about, completing the project many times in a matter of hours. The camaraderie amongst the workers is a true draw on the day for many. If you haven’t had the experience, we encourage you to become involved – you will be in awe of what we can do!
