Plant Science Day at the Long Island Horticultural Research & Extension Center
You are cordially invited to the annual Plant Science Day at the Long Island Horticultural Research & Extension Center on Tuesday, July 8.
This year, we will be dedicating a beautiful Acer griseum (Paperbark Maple) in honor and memory of our beloved George Good. Dr. Good’s wife, children, and family will be coming down from Ithaca to attend. The dedication will occur shortly after 4:00 pm, when the Plant Science Day begins.
Formal tours and demonstrations are held from 4:00-6:00 pm and a barbecue is held on-sight beginning at 6:30 pm. There are four tour routes from which to choose: 1. grapes and wine program, (2) floriculture and greenhouses, (3) nursery and landscape, and (4) vegetables. Registration for the afternoon begins at 3:30 pm. As in past years, NYSDEC Pesticide Recertification credits will be available for this event.
Following the tours, our barbecue will be held on-site at the LIHREC and will be catered by Joe and Barbara Pelis. The cost of the barbecue is $30. Barbecued chicken quarters, BBQ pork ribs, and marinated sliced London broil will be served for the main course along with appetizers, vegetables, and dessert. A 50/50 drawing will be held with all profits going to the research and extension programs at the LIHREC. Dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m.
A deep-sea fishing trip is being planned for the following day, Wednesday, July 9 for anyone who is interested. If you would like to go fishing or find out more details, please let me know (mpb27@cornell.edu).
Pre-registration is required to attend the barbecue.
