Hort Coffees return
Mahaska County Extension Horticulture staff offered horticulture coffees last winter & will again resume them this winter. However there will be a few differences! 1) they are moving to the first Wednesday (Dec – March) at 10 am, 2) there will be a theme to each session, and 3) they will be virtual. So, if horticulture topics interest you, register and join our Hort Coffee/Virtual Café zoom meeting(s).
Dates and themes are: December 2 Gifts for Gardeners, January 6 Gardening resolutions, February 3 Composting and March 3 Seed starting. While Zoom isn’t our favorite method of learning about our favorite subject -gardening– but during COVID it is a popular way to meet without worrying about social distancing and it allows for us to learn with no parking issues, better view of the computer screen, individual volume control, casual dress, comfortable chairs, great choices in beverages and snacks during the presentations, use of your own bathroom, all the while saving gas and commuting time!
To register for the zoom call Mahaska County Extension Office 641-673-5841 or email Suzette Striegel (striegel@iastate.edu) by Noon the day before the coffee. Those who register will receive a zoom link and handouts.
