25 Years - Four Celebrations! October 7-8The ASCFG will be 25 years old in 2013. Help us celebrate together by attending any - or all - of our meetings! We're making them a little shorter, so you don't have to spend so much time away from your farm. We're making them a little different from each other, so each will be a uniquely useful education and networking experience for all growers. We're making them ALL valuable, and fun. Join us! “From Seed to Sale” OSU Secrest Arboretum and OARDC Wooster, Ohio It’s all about the plants! Growers will explain their production and marketing systems for a wide variety of cut flower crops. Program November 3-4 “The ASCFG Growers’ Business School ” The traditional ASCFG Growers' School is back, along with an advanced track which focuses on running your business effectively. Program Check out the presentation links for these past meetings! March 4-5 “On the Farm” Texas Specialty Cut Flowers Wimberley, Texas Frank and Pamela Arnosky welcome the ASCFG back to their Hill Country Farm for tours and demonstrations. About 100 happy attendees gathered at the Arnosky Family Farm for a day of farming stories - spiders and snakes included - networking, and fabulous food. If you missed it, check out the Arnoskys' presentation below. It won't be as fun without the personal narration,but you'll get a good idea of the scope of their farm and how they grow. We are also happy to share Dr. Mengmeng Gu's valuable talk on woody cut flower production for the South. Thanks to everyone who attended, and made the first meeting of 2013 such a success!
