Do you love the taste of luscious summer fruits? Now you can savor the taste of berries, cherries, peaches and plums all year round. Learn how to “Preserve the Taste of Summer!” during a hands-on fruit canning workshop conducted by ISU Extension dietitian Mary Krisco. Join us on Saturday, June 29th from 9 am to 1pm at the Warren County Extension Office for a hands on morning of fun and learning. The cost for this workshop is $20.00 a person. At this workshop you will make and preserve blueberry spice jam and sample crunchy granola with home-dried fruit! This workshop is based on USDA-approved food preservation recommendations, so that the fruit you preserve is not only delicious but safe to store for a year or more. You will be prepared for preserving any type of fresh fruit through hot-water-bath canning or dehydration. Go home with two jars of jam and a complete collection of ISU preservation publications. All supplies will be provided, including jars, lids, screw rings, and fruit. For more information or to RSVP as spots are limited please contact the Warren County Extension Office at 515-961-6237 or email Cortney at [email protected].

New Master Gardener Class
The Master Gardener program is looking for people who
are passionate about volunteering and gardening. No
previous garden knowledge is required. The program
equips participants to grow in knowledge about gardening
best practices. After the training, Master Gardeners
volunteer in their community, making significant contribu-
tions such as giving vegetables to food pantries and main-
taining gardens at county fairs. This year’s course will for
the second year in a row feature a flipped classroom style
where participants will learn about different topics by
touring and participating in workshops held throughout
the county. Then they will be responsible for watching pre
-recorded webinars and doing some study guide materials
on their own time. The class will run from the end of
August to the beginning of November. Those interested in
the course can apply at https://
mastergardenerhours.hort.iastate.edu/application-
form.php.
Training fees of $195 are due in the fall.

Manager requirement will be held on
