Oh, boy, you’ve been waiting for this! Join woody plant guru and plant geek Adam Wheeler of Broken Arrow Nursery for a fun and informative look into the world of competitive pumpkin growing. Learn how to grow plants in the cucurbita family into the biggest and best fruits possible. Ones you will never be able to lift yourself. Although the lecture will focus on how to grow extra large pumpkins, it will also inform gardeners about improving growing conditions for other pumpkin relatives, including melons, squash, and cucumbers. Adam will share his special pumpkin seeds for the upcoming growing season (he’s that confident!). The lecture will take place at Berkshire Botanical Gardens, and costs $18 for BBG members, $24 for non members. Log on to www.berkshirebotanical.org for more information and directions.
