ˇ     Public Gardening Seminars are held throughout the spring and summer.

ˇ     Garden Jumbleis an annual summer sale of gardening tools, supplies and plant cuttings.

ˇ     Horticulture Hotline, a free service to the public, assists in gardening questions and issues.

ˇ     A Speakers Bureau provides knowledgeable speakers to groups, clubs, and associations.
