SFA Gardens will host the monthly Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series at 7 pm September 11 in the Ina Brundrett Conservation Education Building at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet Street, Nacogdoches. Dr. Tim Hartmann, Extension Specialist and Assistant Professor with Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service, will discuss “Alternative Fruits for the Home Fruit Orchard-Low Input, Low Maintenance and Low Spray.”
Originally from Blanco, TX, Tim Hartmann received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Horticulture and Plant Breeding, respectively, from Texas A&M University. He received his Ph.D. in Horticulture from Texas A&M in May 2020 after completing a project focused on the feasibility of golden kiwifruit production in Texas. Tim has been with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in College Station since 2014. As Extension Specialist and Assistant Professor, Tim focuses primarily on fruit production, but also works with propagation and general horticulture. His research has recently focused on alternative fruit crops such as kiwifruit, pineapple guava, Asian persimmon, and apricot.
The Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series is held the second Thursday of each month and includes a plant raffle after the program. The lecture is free and open to the public, and donations to the lecture series fund are always appreciated.
Parking is available at the PNPC, 2900 Raguet Street or Raguet Elementary School, 2708 Raguet Street.
