As one of the country’s most recognized and trusted personalities in gardening and sustainability\, that passion for living a greener life is evident to a nationwide audience who watches Joe in his current role as Creator\, Executive Producer and Host of the multi-award-winning PBS series\, Growing a Greener World® and previously as host of Fresh from the Garden on DIY Network and more.

Promising to be one of the most comprehensive sites on the web with a focus on how-to videos\, podcasts and blog posts around the most popular topics gardeners want to know. \nWhen not talking or writing about green living\, Joe can likely be found in and around his organic garden and spending time with his family on their Atlanta\, GA farm. \nhttps://joegardener.com/ \nGARDENING TO WEATHER ANY STORM \nThis presentation was inspired by the incredibly healthy garden Joe Lamp’l created and maintained on the set of The Fresh from the Garden television series for over three years–in spite of many difficult environmental challenges! In this unique and informative presentation\, Joe shares his secrets about creating a garden that will stand up to all the unpredictable variables in Mother Nature’s bag of tricks. Joe will explain how best to prepare any garden or landscape to perform no matter how wet\, dry\, sunny or shady it may be. He’ll also share his methods of dealing with critters of all shapes and sizes. Learn the tricks of proactive gardening – from soil testing and preparation to fertilization and watering\, as well as pest and disease control\, all in a more eco-friendly way. \n  \nGretchen LeBuhn \nGretchen LeBuhn is a professor of biology at San Francisco State University.  As an evolutionary ecologist\, Gretchen is interested in the ecology\, population biology\, evolution\, and conservation of plant populations.  The broad focus of her research addresses the relationships between environmental and genetic variation\, natural selection and fitness\, with specific interest in gene flow\, adaption\, speciation\, demography\, and plant-animal interactions.  She works on a diversity of projects from field and greenhouse studies of how different ecological factors influence selection to studies of methods in conservation biology. \nIn 2008 Gretchen launched the Great Sunflower Project as a way to gather information about our urban\, suburban\, and rural bee populations.  The project enlists people from across the United States and Canada to plant sunflowers and observe bee visitation\, recording the types and numbers of bees present in their area.  Gretchen is co-author with Kate Frey of The Bee-Friendly Garden: Design an Abundant\, Flower-Filled Yard that Nurtures Bees and Supports Biodiversity\, winner of the American Horticultural Society 2017 Book Award\, and the Xerces Society Guide:  Attracting Native Pollinators. \nhttp://biology.sfsu.edu/people/gretchen-lebuhn \nUSING GARDENS FOR POLLINATOR CONSERVATION\nA scientist\, gardener\, parent and educator\, Dr. LeBuhn will talk about how our gardens\, yards and parks can create a network of healthy habitats for plants and pollinators.  She will share her knowledge about pollinators\, what is known about pollinator gardens and how as citizen scientists\, we can all contribute to a healthier planet\, one backyard at a time. \nLee Reich \n  \nLee Reich\, PhD is an avid farmdener (more than a gardener\, less than a farmer) with graduate degrees in soil science and horticulture. After working in plant and soil research with the USDA and Cornell University\, he shifted gears and turned to writing\, lecturing\, and consulting. His books include  A Northeast Gardener’s Year\, The Pruning Book\, Weedless Gardening\, Uncommon Fruits for Every Garden\, Landscaping With Fruit\, and Grow Fruit Naturally. He writes regularly for a number of gardening magazines and his syndicated gardening column for Associated Press appears biweekly from coast to coast. \nHis farmden has been featured in such publications as the New York Times and Martha Stewart Living\, has won awards from National Gardening and Organic Gardening magazines\, and has been included in “Open Days” tours of the Garden Conservancy.  When the Garden Conservancy expanded Open Days in 2016\, Lee became a regular presenter in their Digging Deeper series in the Hudson Valley of New York. \nhttp://www.leereich.com/ \nFEARLESS PRUNING\nA slide lecture to take the mystery out of pruning\, so that lilacs\, roses – all trees and shrubs\, in fact – can be pruned to look their best and be in vibrant health. After going over the many benefits of pruning\, we’ll take a look at the tools for the job and then – most important – discuss how plants respond to various types of pruning cuts. After that\, we enter the “real world” with the how\, why\, and when of pruning various groups of plants.  \nPaul Zammit \nPaul Zammit\, a graduate of the University of Guelph\, Ontario\, Canada\, is the Nancy Eaton Director of Horticulture at the Toronto Botanical Garden.  He is a regular speaker at garden clubs and horticultural trade shows inspiring audiences across Canada and in the United States. In recent years\, Paul has presented in Germany\, Switzerland and Bermuda.  He has appeared both on television and in print. \nPaul and Uli’s home garden has been featured in Canadian Living\, Gardening Life\, Canadian Gardening and Gardening How-To.  His personal garden was awarded first place in the environmental garden category in the 2001 City of Toronto Garden Contest followed by an award in 2003 for the Best Use of Plant Material in the City of Toronto West District Garden Contest. \nPaul’s container designs have also been showcased in numerous gardening magazines.  Most recently\, on the cover of the May 2011 issue of Canadian Gardening.  In 2008\, he won first place in the Scotts Miracle-Gro\, Do Up the Doorstep competition\, for his container entry at Canada Blooms. \nPaul has been awarded the Young Professionals award by the Perennial Plant Association.  In 2010\, he was the recipient of an Industry Service Award. \nFormerly\, he was at Plant World\, a large retail garden centre where he was the perennial department manager for almost two decades. \nhttp://torontobotanicalgarden.ca/press/spokesperson/paul-zammit/ \nCREATIVE CONTAINERS:  THE APPEAL\, THE POTENTIAL\, AND THE POSSIBILITIES \nJust as outdoor garden spaces change throughout the year\, Paul believes seasonal transformations should also be reflected in dramatic container arrangements.  Join Paul for an energetic presentation where he will discuss the steps to success for creating an eye catching and lasting planter. He will also highlight many of his favorite choice plants\, container combinations and planter accents. \n  \nSchedule of the Day:\n8:00-9:00 Breakfast/Book Sales/Gardener Auction \n9:00-9:15 Opening Remarks and Welcome \n9:15-10:15 Joe Lamp’l—Gardening to Weather Any Storm \n10:15-10:45 Coffee Break/Book Sales/Gardener Auction \n10:45-11:45 Gretchen LeBuhn—Using Gardens for Pollinator Conservation \n11:45-12:45 Lunch/Book Sales/Garden Auction/Slide Show \n12:45-1:45 Lee Reich—Fearless Pruning \n1:45-2:15 Coffee Break/Book Sales/Gardener Auction \n2:15-3:15 Paul Zammit— Creative Containers: The Appeal\, the Potential and the Possibilities \n3:15-3:30 Closing Remarks and Announcement of Gardener Auction Winners \n“Boxed Lunch Choices: NO Substitutions” \nCondiments on the side \n  \nHONEY BAKED HAM on croissant\, cheddar\, lettuce\, tomato\, potato chips and chocolate chip cookie \n TUNA SALAD on sliced multigrain\, lettuce\, tomato\, potato chips\, chocolate chip cookie \nVEGETARIAN OPTION: provolone\, lettuce\, tomato\, banana pepper\, olives on sliced multigrain\, potato chips\, fruit cup \nGLUTEN FREE OPTION: Chef salad with ham\, turkey\, swiss and cheddar\, tomato\, fresh leaf lettuce\,  potato chips and fruit cup \n  \nRegister Early and Save!  $80 if postmarked by February 24\, 2018. $90 if postmarked after February 24\, 2018. \nRegistration by mail is required and must be postmarked by March 10\, 2018.  Registration confirmation will be made by email only\, unless otherwise requested.  If a mailed confirmation is requested\, include a stamped\, self-addressed envelope. \n2018-MGofMC-Symposium-download

SUMMARY:Meet the Master Gardeners at Communiversity
DESCRIPTION:Do You Have a Garden Question? Ask a Master Gardener!\n We’re here to help…\nMercer County Master Gardeners will be on hand at Communiversity in Princeton on Sunday\, April 30 from 1-6pm. \nStop by and find out the answers to those pressing gardening questions or pick up some information on a wide variety of gardening topics. \nKids will love getting up close and personal with the eye-popping specimens in our Bug Boxes (shown left) and gardeners of all ages can get some hands-on experience creating “garden gold” (aka compost) for their own backyard. \nAnd don’t forget to pick a brochure of our upcoming educational workshops and family events. \nRutgers Master Gardeners are trained by faculty and staff of Rutgers University\, and other NJ horticultural experts\, to be knowledgeable about a wide range of gardening subjects. Ask us!  We’re here to help gardeners across  The Garden State.

SUMMARY:Integrated Pest Management for the Homeowner
DESCRIPTION:Integrated Pest Management is a strategy and decision process developed for large agricultural producers that can also be applied by homeowners to limit or avoid altogether the use of toxic chemicals. \nYou will learn how to use these principles for long-term prevention of pests and their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control\, habitat manipulation\, modification of cultural practices\, and use of resistant varieties. Whether you hire a professional landscaper or do it all yourself\, you need to know the very best practices. \nFollowing the presentation\, participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the spring activities at the Farm. \n*Pre-registration is recommended. \nThis program is co-sponsored with the Howell Living History Farm and will include a short presentation about Howell Farm.\n*Pre-registration by email at rmgofmcprograms@gmail.com is the preferred method of signing up for programs unless otherwise noted; or call the Extension Office at 609-989-6830 during business hours. \nFree parking available at all program and event locations. \nAll Events are rain or shine. \n\n \n\nPrintable copy of our 2017 Gardening Programs and Events brochure
