June 11 - Phenomenal Phenology: Connecting Seasonal Changes, Plant Biology and Observation in the Garden - MSU Extension Consumer Horticulture Educator Isabel Branstrom
At the end of winter, do you find yourself looking for a sign that it’s spring? Maybe it’s not the day on the calendar that says, “First day of spring,” but rather a certain shrub in bloom, or a particular tree that is just starting to leaf out. This process of noting changes in plant life cycles based on seasonal environmental shifts is phenology. Plant phenology can be useful in the garden to time pest scouting, initiate management strategies, and to develop correlations as well as deeper understanding of our environment over time. In this session, we will learn more about why. Tips on recording your own observations and helpful resources will also be shared.
$12 per session for one household, $90 for all eight sessions
Preregistration required. Recorded lectures available to paid registrants. A link will be sent prior to the session.
Series will be virtual with select hybrid sessions (virtual and in-person combined). Non-refundable.
