(Le Mars) — Local gardeners may be disappointed over the fact this year’s Plymouth County Fair has been cancelled, and therefore the open class horticulture judging has also been cancelled. However, members of the Floyd Valley Federated Garden Club will hold a seminar this evening, Tuesday, July
14th at the Foster Park Gazebo in Le Mars. Roseanne Plante of Hinton serves on the Floyd Valley Federated Garden Club and explains what will take place this evening.
Plante says tonight’s event is open to everyone, not just members of the local garden club. She says prizes will be awarded for the top flowers or plants exhibited tonight at Foster Park.
Plante says many members of the Floyd Valley Federated Garden Club are certified “Master Gardeners” through Iowa State University Extension, and are willing to discuss any concerns people may have with their vegetable produce,
flowers, or plants.
Plante suggests people to wear masks if they feel more comfortable with a face covering. She says social distancing will be implemented. The garden show is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Foster Park Gazebo.
