Hello Gardeners!
It was refreshing to see your faces at Share What You Know Meetup: Seed Starting last Saturday, February 20th. Attached are several resources that were shared during Joan Clayton Davis & Biars Davis' presentation, including Cooperative Extension offices in your area, the PowerPoint deck, and the full Zoom presentation (chat is also attached below). I will send their contact information via Facebook messenger. Without further ado:
Cooperative Extension Offices in your State or District: Throughout Joan and Biar's presentation, they referred us to our "local Cooperative Extension Office". Depending on the office, you can:
Get your soil tested free
Find out what is wrong with your plant
Get plant/pest information
Obtain publications on specific topics
Attend lectures and workshops sponsored by them
Get involved in the Master Gardener Program.
Find your local Extension office below:

BONUS
Kid's Vis Grocery List: Children love to go shopping for vegetables. Biars shared the flyer below as a bonus to help make it easy for young children to identify foods at the grocery store or market, and then make associations with what you may grow in your garden, or find at a Farmer's Market.
