Romain Calm and Lettuce Show You How to Propagate Vegetables

By

From high-end hotels to newly-built homes, plant propagation walls are taking center change when it comes to decorating your home. Before you’re able to create the wall of your dreams, you need to know the ins and outs of how to actually propagate certain plants.

We’re being joined by Cami Jacobsen, the President of Minnehaha County Master Gardeners. She’s going to show us how we can grow our own plants out of roots and cuttings, as well as get a jump start on the next home décor trend.

Meet Regan Jacoby – The 2021 Minnehaha County Master Gardener Scholarship Winner

By

Megan Jacoby was recently awarded the 2021 Minnehaha County Master Gardener scholarship in honor of Dr. Graper.

Regan is a junior horticulture student from Vesta, Minnesota, and has worked for the city of St. Cloud, Minnesota, as a garden employee at Munsinger-Clemens Gardens. At work, Regan is responsible for designing and planting beds, managing watering systems, caring for the resident peacocks and taking care of any maintenance needed in the garden.

She also welcomes and interacts with the public and garden visitors. Her favorite part of her internship so far is designing the garden beds.

“Imagine an entire greenhouse – a large one filled with plants, and you get to design a bed with whatever you can find there,” says Regan. “The staff has given me a lot of freedom to design and be a part of the planting process. I equally enjoy the people I get to work with and learn from. I have an amazing mentor who is a master gardener and has been with the gardens for upwards of 12 years.”

Congratulations to Regan – and her blossoming career!

Hot Weather Help for Plants

By

It’s getting hot in KELOLAND, and the heat doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. While the sun and heat is good for the plants up to a certain point, it can also become too much for them to thrive or even survive.

Cami Jacobsen, with Minnehaha Master Gardeners joined Keloland Living to let us know how we can keep our plants safe from the heat, and give us a preview of what we can expect from the 2021 Annual Garden Tour.
