Temperatures – finally reaching highs the state hasn’t seen since November – are one indication that spring is on its way. Another is the number of gardening and eco-events cropping up in Eastern Iowa.
A look at the Homegrown calendar shows something happening every day this week, with some offering more than one option. If you don’t make a habit of looking at the calendar, check it out.
Highlights include Dr. Jane Goodall at the University of Iowa on Monday, March 10; Bringing Nature Home with Doug Tallamy, a Trees Forever 25th anniversary event on Tuesday, March 11, at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids; Prairie Preview XXXI in Iowa City on Thursday, March 13, and maple syrup events at the Indian Creek Nature Center.
