We have a busy couple weeks coming at the IFAS Extension Bookstore, with events in Gainesville, Tallahassee, and Orlando.
This Tuesday through Thursday, May 9–11, catch your favorite, untiring local bookstore at the UF/IFAS Extension Symposium at the J. Wayne Reitz Union on the UF campus in Gainesville. We’ll be in the ballroom taking all your apparel requests and with a selection of other stock on hand as well! I love my UF/IFAS windbreaker—what are you going to get?
On Saturday morning, May 13, the bookstore will be at the UF/IFAS Extension Leon County Open House and Plant Sale. This event runs from 9 a.m. to noon and features over 3,000 plants for every kind of plant lover! Besides the bookstore, garden clubs, the Rose Society and Bonsai Society, and the Apalachee Beekeepers Association will be attending. Plus, proceeds support the county Extension office’s programs: 4-H scholarships, community gardens, and more!
(And if you’re a Master Gardener at the show, we’ll even stick around a little while after it finishes so you can shop too!)
Finally, next week, May 15–19, a bookstore still going strong will be in Orlando at the Aquatic Weed Control Short Course. This course offers training and CEUs for multiple Florida Pesticide Applicator categories, as well as information on identifying aquatic and wetland plants. Registration is closed, so if you didn’t get to it in time this year, we’ll have to see you there the next!
