Please register by calling 270-384-2317 if you plan to attend.



Garden chrysanthemums grown for fall sales have been a successful crop for some Kentucky growers. A strong market exists for garden mums because garden centers desire an inexpensive flowering pot plant to accentuate fall landscape plant sales. Additionally the commercial landscape market has expanded and needs flowering plants for use in the Fall. Garden mums can be a simple crop to grow. If labor costs can be controlled, garden mums can be a money making summer crop.

Educational programs of the Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin. - Nick Roy
