The event will take place on Saturday, April 22 from 8 am – 3 pm at Penn State Lehigh Valley, 2809 Saucon Valley Rd, Center Valley PA 18034.
Our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Amy Korman, Extension Educator will discuss the fascinating, sometimes frustrating, insects in our garden landscapes.

Presentations on restoring American chestnuts, assisting pollinators, flowering trees, using native plants in the landscape, Japanese gardens and growing dahlias are among the options.
Additionally, there will be vendors selling plants and other items related to gardening. This will include one-of-a kind birdhouses, unique house plants, bog plants, perennials, and other items. All participants will be eligible to win door prizes provided by the vendors. The conference asks attendees to bring a refillable water bottle. The $40 registration fee will include a choice of box lunches and breakfast pastries. Those interested can register for this event at: https://extension.psu.edu/
