On Wednesday John Orick, Karen Mitchell, and Pam Fisher traveled to Indianapolis to prepare the Purdue Extension Master Gardener Plant Info to Go Booth at the Indiana State Fair. Purdue Extension Master Gardener volunteers from across the state will staff the booth to help answer any gardening and lawn care questions from fair patrons and to help promote the Purdue EMG Program. The booth will be located in the Purdue Extension Building (formerly the Farm Bureau Building) at the north end of the fairgrounds. The State Fair will run August 2-18.
While at the fairgrounds they visited the demonstration garden that Purdue EMG volunteers and Purdue Extension – Marion County created. The demonstration garden is located near the DNR Complex at the north end of the fairgrounds. More photos from the demonstration garden can be found in this gallery.
If you attend the State Fair, please take the opportunity to visit the Plant Info to Go Booth and the Purdue Extension – Marion County Demonstration Garden.
