This day-long, hands-on field day is for anyone interested in
turf management. Golf course superintendents and employees, park
and recreation workers, lawn care professionals, school
principals and coaches will learn about the most current turf
research and how to make it work for them.

Tour, hands-on workshops

The event includes a tour of the Georgia Experiment Station
research plots and gardens. UGA scientists will also teach
hands-on workshops on water issues, preemergence crabgrass

For Spanish-speaking people, translators will be on hand. The
program offers Certified Crop Advisor credit hours and Georgia
Pesticide Certification credit hours, too.
