SD Specialty Producers Association (SDSPA) attended the Garden Discovery Festival at McCrory Gardens in Brookings, SD on May 19, 2024. There were a variety of booths and presentations where families and children could learn more about urban agriculture and gardening. Attendees could purchase plants from the plant sales and explore McCrory Gardens.
At the SDSPA booth attendees were able to learn about specialty crops, hydroponics, and microgreens! MacKenzie Mattern of SoDak Greens showed hydroponics columns and helped attendees plant their own broccoli microgreens.
