Spring Festival of Flowers to include flowers, edible plants, trees and activities - Pensacola News Journal

East Hill Edible Gardening has had a presence at the festival for six years. Renee Perry and her husband Tom Garner founded it in 2014 as a means to promote local gardening, mainly through classes that have taught hundreds of aspiring growers. Perry operates a booth at the corner of Alcaniz and Jackson Streets on Saturdays and at the Sunday edition of Palafox Market. Outside the festival’s purview of flowers, Perry’s angle is growing your own food. “That’s my involvement with the festival. We specialize in edible plants, but the festival is for plant enthusiasts. That’s how we fit in,” said Perry. “I’m one of 20 to 30 vendors that come out to sell plants and make new customers. And it’s fun.”In addition to your garden variety of herbs and vegetables, Perry’s booth will introduce more obscure edibles like culantro, a piquant cousin to cilantro; melokhiya, a heat-loving leafy green; and mushroom plant, a shrub from Papua New Guinea that tastes like its name.Like most festivals, the Spring Festival of Flowers had a humble start, debuting in 1988 as a plant sale for PSC’s Environmental Horticultural Program. It was an immediate hit with the botanical community and was hosted in subsequent years by the Santa Rosa Master Gardeners and the Friends of the Milton Gardeners. In 2017, it became a collaborative effort between UF/IFAS and PSC Milton campus. The institute’s mission is “to develop knowledge in agricultural, human, and natural resources, and to make that knowledge accessible to sustain and enhance the quality of human life.”The PSC Milton campus sits almost dead center in Santa Rosa County, which despite its urban development, is still mostly agricultural. The county’s nexus with ag research dates back to 1946 when a research facility was established in Jay to aid local farmers. In 1995, the University of Florida opened the West Florida Research and Education Center (WFREC), one of 10 like facilities across the state under its Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences. The center conducts research in areas such as cropping systems, entomology, and watershed management and offers degrees in Natural Resource Conservation and Plant Science. This ties in perfectly with the region’s cash crops like peanuts and cotton while trying to meet the recurring challenge of farming in the state’s sandy clay soil. Currently, the West Florida outpost is researching the poten...

Dr. Emery Deserves All the Flowers While She Can Smell Them - Afro American

At the end of the day after all the accolades and laurels laid at her feet, all the honors and titles and accomplishments she has garnered, they all fall short of that one simple word in describing this great woman; servant. Since 1989 (just six years after I graduated from Walbrook), the year I became a professional journalist, at 23, as an education reporter for the AFRO, I've had innumerable conversations with Dr. Emery over the years. It is not hyperbole when I say every story she has ever told me was about what she was going to do for somebody else. Just think about that; every conversation was about how she was going to be of service to others. Every great leader has been a great servant, Dr. Emery is the embodiment of both. I am a Walbrook Warrior and I will proclaim it with pride for the rest of my days because of the unsurpassed work, infused with love of Dr. Anne O. Emery. I am just one of thousands of men and women, all her children who owe her an enormous debt of gratitude. Sean Yoes is the AFRO's Baltimore editor and author of Baltimore After Freddie Gray: Real Stories From One of America's Great Imperiled Cities.

Despite brisk Maritime weather, spectacular desert plant set to boom in Halifax

Even going to Mexico you’d be lucky to see it.”Photos of the agave on the Halifax Public Gardens’ Facebook page have garnered hundreds of likes and shares.“We were really excited last Monday when this plant started to show that it was going to flower,” said Heidi Boutilier, a horticulture specialist.A professed “plant geek,” Boutilier said the agave’s blooming period usually lasts a few weeks.Boutilier confirmed that once the agave flowers, the plant will die – a process that is well known to those familiar with desert plants.The blue agave plant can be used to produce tequila, but staff at the Public Gardens have no intention to brew their own batch, Boutilier said.“We let it do its thing,” she said. “We aren’t going to cut it down and harvest it. We’re just going to let her take her natural course.”Share this story:Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. (Medicine Hat News)
