"We're going to spend time on different types and styles of beds," Upson said. "We've recently developed a 14-inch-high bed that's good for folks with dexterity problems or physical limitations. It's moderately priced and the best design we've come up with using locally available materials."
Upson will have some new raised bed gardening gadgets on display during the seminar.
"There will be lots of 'show and tell' for the serious gardener," he added.
Reference materials and refreshments will be provided. Please pre-register by calling Melissa Castleman at (580) 224-6411.
