ND State Horticulture Society Conference July 13-15, 2017

The ND State Horticulture Organization will be holding their 94th Annual North Dakota State Horticulture Society Conference at Grand Hotel in Minot on July 13-15, 2017.

They have scheduled some excellent main speakers, set up informative breakout sessions and arranged many yard/garden tours to include both small and large yards. In addition to the educational items, they’ve also included items such as vendor booths, door prizes, a silent auction table, meals and a BBQ at one of their garden stops.

If anyone would like a brochure mailed to them, please contact the NDSU Extension Service at ndsu.ward.extension@ndsu.edu or (701) 857-6444.
