On August 7th, the Purdue Landscape Team will be hosting a Landscape Diagnostic Training in the gardens at Newfields with a Spanish session in the morning and English session in the afternoon.
This event will feature Purdue Green Industry Specialists (Janna Beckerman (professor and pathology specialist), John Bonkowski (diagnostician), Tom Creswell (clinical engagement professor and diagnostician), Kyle Daniel (nursery and landscape specialist), Ben McCallister (urban forestry specialist), and Cliff Sadof (professor and entomology specialist) addressing plant problems and their treatments while walking through the landscape. The specialists’ process of diagnosing plant problems will be discussed so attendees can be confident in diagnosing plant problems at their clients’ properties. This educational opportunity will be focused on landscape problems that commercial green industry professionals will encounter in the ‘real-world’.
