DCMGA’s Fall Seminar Features Ed Lyon

The Door County Master Gardeners Association (DCMGA) announces the fall seminar, “A New Look at American Home Gardens” with Ed Lyon, will be held Nov. 3 at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay. The day begins with registration at 8:30 am and ends at 2 pm; there will be a midday break for a box lunch and snacks.

The seminar begins with the two-hour program, “The Front Lawn Challenge: Taking a New Look at an Old Space.” Whether it is the resurgence of interest in homegrown produce or a desire to become more ecologically responsible, many homeowners are re-examining the use of their front lawn, boulevards and terraces. Lyon will provide examples of other Midwest gardeners who have converted front yard spaces to a variety of uses.

Lyon will also speak about “Natural Beauty,” a program designed to help gardeners make smart choices, not trendy ones when designing, building, or maintaining their home gardens.

Lyon is director of the Allen Centennial Gardens in Madison, Wisconsin, a position he has held since 2008.

This program is open to the public, and costs $35 (including a box lunch). Pre-registration and fee payment is required by Oct. 30.
