The Matanuska Experiment Farm and Extension Center will celebrate spring on Saturday, April 13, with 11 free community classes.
One-hour classes will be offered 1 p.m., 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. as part of Spring Fling with Extension. Three sessions are full but registration is open for classes on gardening myths, composting, emergency preparedness and canine care, agronomic crops for gardens and controlling bird vetch. Three family-friendly classes are also available, on fun with agriculture, spring crafts and the importance of trees.
Agents and staff from the University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service will teach the classes. Although classes are free, registration is requested because space is limited. The schedule and registration for available classes is online at https://bit.ly/2FcYzJp. The farm is located at 1509 S. Georgeson Drive.
