Dave Francis, Extension Associate Professor and Extension 4-H Military Liaison, Utah State University
“Maker Movement, Horticulture Fusion”
Within the Maker Movement, there is a new trend developing with a tie to agriculture and gardening. Known as “geek gardening,” it refers to gardening enhanced with technology-focused methods to increase the production of plant products or to solve issues such as irrigation or pest control. Dave will identify and showcase this movement and a variety of these Makers and their innovations for awareness throughout Cooperative Extension.
Congratulations Dave!
