Our experienced gardeners have studied horticulture and continue to upgrade their skills through technical training. With this training and education we provide unbiased horticultural advice and expertise to home gardeners, at no charge.  We encourage good gardening practices.   Our advice clinics, and Friends of the Farm lectures are all canceled due to the COVID - 19 crisis.
