On Feb. 25-26, the UAF Cooperative Extension Service will host the Alaska Greenhouse and Nursery Conference in Juneau. The gathering will provide opportunities for horticulture businesses (landscapers, greenhouse and nursery growers, contractors, market farmers, retailers, and others) to connect with supporting entities (funders, researchers, agencies) to promote the success of their businesses. "We have a strong lineup of speakers sharing new and valuable information and are including plenty of breaks to learn from each other and make new connections," said CES Agent Darren Snyder.
SNRAS faculty will be on hand to share their knowledge. Professor Meriam Karlsson will give a presentation on high tunnels, hoop houses, and retractable roofs to improve field production and Assistant Professor Jeff Smeenk will talk about topsoil.
Visit this site for registration forms. The conference includes an extra day at no fee for the Southeast Gardening Workshop on Feb. 27. Contact Snyder for more information, 907-796-6281.
