(Radio Iowa) – The leader of Iowa State’s Master Gardener Program says gardening continues to be a popular hobby. Alicia Herzog says some people turned to it when they were stuck at home during the pandemic.

Herzog says she doesn’t have exact numbers, but she knows through their the winter home gardener webinar series that there’s a lot of interest.

She says it’s something that anyone can learn to do.

Herzog says Iowa State University can answer a lot of the questions people may have on how to start a garden and how to keep it growing.
