OVERTON – Come rain or shine, this year’s East Texas Horticultural Field Day will be held June 25 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Overton, and admission is open to the public and free.
“The frequent rains have made it challenging to plant the trials this year, but we’ve finished planting, and there will be lots to see,” said Dr. Brent Pemberton, Texas A&M AgriLife Research horticulturist, Overton.
The field day will begin with registration at the center’s North Farm site, about 4 miles north of the center headquarters on Farm-to-Market Road 3053. The trials cover about 1 acre and are visible from the road, Pemberton said.
The center headquarters are about 2 miles north of downtown Overton on Farm-to-Market Road 3053. For driving directions to the center or the North Farm site, go to http://flowers.tamu.edu/field-day/ or call 903-834-6191.
