Residents in Claiborne Parish will have the opportunity to enhance their gardening knowledge during an upcoming “Soil to Harvest” workshop hosted by the local extension service.

The event is scheduled to take place at the Claiborne Parish Extension Office, located at 11959 LA-9 in Homer, with registration beginning at 8:30 a.m. and sessions running from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The workshop will feature a series of educational sessions led by agriculture and horticulture experts. Topics will include warm-season vegetable gardening, insect and disease management, and weed identification along with turf management. Participants will hear from Assistant County Agents John Monzingo and Kyleigh Bass, as well as Dr. Ron Strahan, who will provide insight into maintaining healthy lawns and gardens.

An optional field tour will also be offered, giving attendees a hands-on opportunity to apply what they’ve learned.

Organizers say the workshop is designed to support both beginner and experienced gardeners by providing practical, research-based information to improve growing success throughout the season.

Those needing special accommodations are encouraged to contact the Claiborne Parish Extension Service in advance.

The event offers a valuable opportunity for local residents to gain knowledge, ask questions, and connect with agricultural professionals ahead of the busy growing season.
