    September 19, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
    Kennekuk County Park, 22296 Henning Rd, Danville, IL 61834, USA

    Master Gardeners have their annual Garden to Table program coming up on September 19 where they will discuss the 2023 growing season. What thrived? What struggled? How did they manage specific insects or pests? They will share information on seed varieties, soil, fertilizer and water recommendations.
     
    This is a great opportunity to learn and sample different varieties of locally grown vegetables and fruits. You may find a new variety of fruit or vegetable to grow next year, along with ways to use harvested produce. There will be tasting at the end of this unique event.
     
    This program will be held on Tuesday, September 19, from 6-7:30pm. at the Kennekuk County Park Laury Red Barn. There is no charge to attend; however, we ask that attendees please register so we have adequate handouts and materials. Register online at https://registration.extension.illinois.edu/start/vcmg-presents-garden-to-table-with-mg-walter-deck-2023 or by calling 217.442.8615.
