About the event
At 11:30 a.m. on October 19th, a hands-on hummingbird feeder workshop will be conducted for pre-registered participants of the Treasure Coast Agri-Science Showcase and Fall Fest. While not easily seen, hummingbirds are found on the Florida Treasure Coast. You can attract them to your yard using red tubular flowers such as Hamelia patens or by using hummingbird feeders. Participants will receive a 6-inch hummingbird feeder for their yard, along with instructions for care and use. Pre-registration is required.

About the Treasure Coast Agri-Science Showcase & Fall Fest
Attendees enjoyed educational workshops and 24 vendors. Educational workshops were presented on an assortment of topics such as Growing Microgreens and growing Florida sea vegetables. All workshops are led by professors, scientists, and UF/IFAS Agents, so it is an amazing opportunity for attendees to get hands-on instruction from experts in the field. This year, we will also be presenting a petting zoo, crafts for the kids, and the Master Gardener Volunteer Plant nursery will be open to raise money for our scholarship programming.
This event not only helps our community to learn about what UF/IFAS Research and Extension are, but also showcases the amazing scientific-based research resources and partnerships we have here on the Treasure Coast. We want to help educate our community and children about the great educational opportunities we offer and be at the top of their list for agriculture, horticulture, and natural resource inquires.
This is an annual event that takes place on the St. Lucie County Extension and University of Florida’s Indian River Research and Education Center’s campuses in west Fort Pierce. The Agri-Science Showcase and Fall Fest features opportunities to learn about the science conducted at the Indian River Research and Education Center, tour laboratories at the Center, purchase plants from the St. Lucie County Master Gardeners, attend educational workshops, and visit vendors that are focused on sustainability, locally sourced goods, and community partnerships.
