Lily can visit your field instead of an office meeting\, however\, developing a field management or business management plan requires focused time at a table with a computer and other\nresources. \nWaldoboro \n\nDates: March 24\, March 27\, April 1\, May 6\nTimeslots:\n\n10:30 AM – 12:00 PM\n12:30 PM – 2:00 PM\n4:00 PM – 5:30 PM\n\n\nAddress: 377 Manktown Rd\, Waldoboro\, ME 04572\nCost: Free\n\nRegister here!

From seasonal rhythms and market demand to labor\, climate challenges\, and community networks\, the presentation highlights both the opportunities and pressures shaping local flower farms today. Through images and stories from the field\, attendees will gain a deeper appreciation for the people\, places\, and systems behind º£½ÇÉçÇø-grown flowers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nº£½ÇÉçÇø Dr. Ankit K Singh: Dr. Ankit Kumar Singh is an Assistant Extension Professor with the University of º£½ÇÉçÇø Cooperative Extension whose work centers on specialty crop production\, controlled environment agriculture\, and community-based food systems. Through extensive engagement with flower growers across º£½ÇÉçÇø\, his research and outreach explore the realities of farming in northern climates\, from seasonality and labor to markets and climate resilience. In parallel\, Dr. Singh collaborates on space-agriculture research\, examining how insights from extreme growing environments from greenhouses in º£½ÇÉçÇø to plant systems designed for space can inform the future of sustainable farming on Earth. \n\nRegistration required.
