JCCC 4th Annual Horticultural Sciences Day
Urban Horticulture and Pest Management
Friday, Feb. 21
Welcome Address
Dr. Joseph Sopcich, president, JCCC
Dalton Hermes, CEO, Hermes Landscaping.
The full schedule is as follows:
1. Plenary Session
Urban Horticulture and Pest Management: How we articulate philosophy with practices.
Dr. Catherine H. Daniels, Washington State University Research and Extension Center, Puyallup, Wash.
Public conversations about sustainability and health/safety are big determiners in how pest management is perceived, and carried out, in urban areas. Your clients or neighbors may be professionals in other disciplines who are used to asking for evidence of special certification, advanced training, credible written materials or websites that explain potential effects from treatments on their property (clients) or your property (neighbors). Plant choices, amount of hardscapes, and urban food systems are also a big part of the sustainability, health and safety conversations. Join us for a look into how these conversations are playing out in the Pacific Northwest.
2. Four Seasons of Containers
Rita Randolph, Rita's Rare Plants, Tenn.
Everything from small tabletop centerpieces to large commercial installations, see how all kinds of plants are combined into what many people call 'Eye Candy'. Rita is a true artist and containers are her canvas, often spilling with unusual or underused colorful plant material. Professionally and passionately the focus is on plants for containers and small gardens. With an emphasis on Foliage FIRST, Rita explains why it's so important to combine textures and colorful foliage first, then, flowers are then a bonus! Annuals, perennials, conifers and shrubs will all be addressed. From the smallest pot to commercial installations, Rita's slides will inspire you.

Filmed in Evansville, Indiana, on Tuesday, October 2, 2012
Evansville's West Side Nut Club Fall Festival is held the first full week of every October on Franklin Street in Evansville, Indiana by Evansville's West Side Nut Club. It draws approximately 150,000 people each year.
The West Side Nut Club cordons off four blocks of West Franklin Street for rides and food booths. Paul Harvey once remarked that only Mardi Gras in New Orleans is larger than the Fall Festival.
The festival was first held in 1924.
Normally, the Fall Festival commences on a Sunday and runs all week. Each day there are several music and dance performances by local bands and youth. Saturday, the last day of the festival, is marked by a parade.
The main attraction of the festival is the food, with offerings of fair standards like corn dogs and corn fritters to the more unusual such as chocolate-covered grasshoppers, brain sandwiches, and alligator stew. In addition to the rides are many different games with various prizes. The food at the Fall Festival is the most popular aspect of the event with a majority of the food being fried.
