Fwd: Reminder: Upcoming Events

I thought some of you may be interested in this from the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.

Dear Folks,

 

We have several learning opportunities coming up based on the feedback I received from many of you last fall.

 

If you are a vegetable producer (or want to be) we have a 3 session series I am calling Farming 201 that goes a little deeper than our Farmer 101 class on vegetables.

To learn the specifics about this series click on the link below and pre-register for individual classes ($10) or the entire series ($25).

http://www.aces.edu/go/00  click for details and registration information.

 

Another much requested series has been a small scale beekeeping series that will begin February 7^th.  If you are interested in this series go ahead and pre-register because seating is limited.

These events are on the calendar.
