Please join us on February 18, at 10:30 am to learn about How to Choose Potting Media for Gardening Success presented by Dr. Cheryl Boyer, Professor, Professor and Extension Specialist at Kansas State University in the Department of Horticulture and Natural Resources. Her area of expertise is soil-less potting media for nursery crop production. She is a prolific educator in every sense of the word. Even before finishing her Masters Degree she was a published author and has produced articles in both professional journals and in trade publications. She has been a sought-after speaker for both public extension meetings and for national conferences as well as numerous webinars. She also served as Interim Kansas Master Gardener State Coordinator in 2020-2021. Currently, she works with garden centers and landscape contractors to improve marketing efforts. No wonder that her CV is 28 pages long.
Selecting a bag of potting media at a garden center can be a confusing experience. Fortunately, there is solid science behind engineering quality soils for growing plants. Dr. Cheryl Boyer will cover purposes, materials, mixes, and how to manage soil-less potting media for container-gardening success.
