Garden Talks: Companion Planting

Featuring Local Master Gardeners

Join us for a presentation by Master Gardener, DMae Ceryes, on companion planting.

Join us on the first Tuesday of the month for our Master Gardener series, presented by U of M Extension Becker County Master Gardeners. Master Gardeners are University of Minnesota-trained volunteers whose mission is to educate the public about a variety of horticulture subjects using readily-available, up-to-date research-based information. The Master Gardener Program educational effort is designed to enhance the public’s quality of life and to promote good stewardship of the environment.

September's presentation will focus on companion planting. Do carrots really love tomatoes? Do marigolds really repel insect pests? Although many of the suggestions that have been widely publicized are no more than folklore, some benefits have been borne out by research. Planting certain plants near each other can offer benefit, while other combinations are like the Hatfields and the McCoys (should never be near each other). Presenter: DMae Ceryes

This program is offered as part of Garden Talks, an event series offering assistance with common gardening topics.
