SFA Gardens will host the monthly Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series at 7 pm on February 12 in the Ina Brundrett Conservation Education Building at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center, 2900 Raguet Street, Nacogdoches.  Ed Bush, professor in the School of Plant, Environmental and Soil Science at Louisiana State University, will discuss “Growing Your Best Garden Plants Using Raised Beds.”

Bush teaches both undergraduate and graduate horticulture classes at LSU, including plant propagation, urban landscape management and nursery management.  His research interests are plant stress physiology and developmental nursery crops.  Bush has served as the LSU Coastal Roots Program since 2001, and he has mentored over 100 high school and middle school students involved in the Louisiana Science Fair.

The Theresa and Les Reeves Lecture Series is held on the second Thursday of each month and includes a plant raffle after the program.  Attendance is free and open to the public, and donations to the lecture series fund are always appreciated.  Parking is available at the Pineywoods Native Plant Center or next door at Raguet Elementary School, 2708 Raguet Street.
