Where is IFASBOOKS this weekend?

This Saturday, February 25, 2023, the IFAS Extension Bookstore will be pulling double duty, with staff at A Day of Gardening in Jacksonville and at the 2023 Seminole County Gardening Expo in Sanford.

A Day of Gardening is an all-day event featuring several talks intended for outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. Topics include “Growing Bananas & Sugarcane in North Florida,” “How to Prune Young Trees,” “Using Non-Native Plants along with Natives to Attract More Butterfly Species,” and more! Registration is required, and tickets are sold out, but if interested you can add your name to a waiting list at the link above in case any spots free up.

The Seminole County Gardening Expo is a free event from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes demonstrations, food, and vendors, as well as children’s activities. Registration in advance (at the link above) is not required but will save you a little time at the entrance and enter you in a prize drawing. Bring the family and come say hi at the Bookstore tent!
