SFA Gardens Lecture Series to Feature Director Dave Creech

The SFA Gardens will host the monthly Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19, in the Agriculture Building, Room 110, at 1924 Wilson Drive.
 
Dr. David Creech, professor emeritus in the Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture, will present "Why Raising a Garden and Raising Kiddos is About the Same Thing; It's All About Breaking Rules."
 
Creech has been at SFA since 1978 and is director and founder of the SFA Mast Arboretum, Ruby Mize Azalea Garden and Gayla Mize Garden and co-directs the Pineywoods Native Plant Center. His research efforts have focused on blueberry germplasm and production studies, alternative crops and technology, crop nutrition and evaluation of new plant materials for the south.
 
Although traditionally held the third Thursday of each month, beginning in 2014, the Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series will be held the second Thursday of each month. A rare plant raffle will be held after the program.

The lecture is free and open to the public, but donations to the Theresa and Les Reeves lecture series fund always are appreciated. For more information, call (936) 468-1832 or email grantdamon@sfasu.edu.
