All-Iowa Hort Expo Success!

Spring weather is always temperamental, but the our passion for gardening is always revived during this season. Over 600 people visited the Iowa State Horticultural Society's All-Iowa Horticulture Exposition in Ottumwa March 26-27th to attend educational programming and visit the Trade Show for what's new in Horticulture. The Iowa Arboretum's room featured books, plants, and whimsical items that many enjoyed, some even walking away with arms full of willow branches from our grounds. The staff and volunteers had a wonderful time meeting so many enthusiastic gardeners.
