MGV Lecture Series: Gardening with Snakes

Sea Grant Agent Rick O’Connor from Escambia County will educate gardeners about snakes we may encounter while outside. Most are not dangerous, but instead are beneficial to our ecosystem. Learn to identify the common snakes we have in our area. Even if you are afraid of snakes, you may want to attend to allay those fears by becoming more familiar with the species.

The program will be on Wednesday, May 1, 2024, at 10:00am. The location is the UF/IFAS Walton Extension Office, 732 N 9th Street in DeFuniak Springs. Light refreshments will be served, and Master Gardener Volunteers will be on hand to help with gardening questions and soil samples.

This event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required. Save your place by emailing waltonctymg@gmail.com and indicate whether you will attend in person or via zoom. For more information call 850-892-8172.

This will be the last lecture of this season. We will resume in September after the traffic has died down, the heat subsides, and we feel like gardening again.
