Grounds Maintenance Workshops
The Grounds Maintenance workshops are a stimulating way to learn more about turfgrass, trees, shrubs, ornamentals, and flowers. Kansas commercial pesticide applicators can receive recertification credit hours towards their applicator license.* These workshops are packed with the latest research-based information, including soil and water relationships to the plant, that you can use to improve your landscape and enhance your business and productivity. Attending one of these workshops is a great way to solve some of your landscape management problems, gain productivity tips, and network with other horticulture professionals. These workshops are being offered in multiple locations throughout the State of Kansas this spring 2010.
