Happy Birthday St. Johns County Agricultural Extension Center

County Agricultural Extension Center

St. Johns County is celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Agricultural Extension Center at 3125 Agricultural Center Drive, St. Augustine, FL 32092-0572.  On any weekday (and a great many weekends) you'll see volunteers and county extension employees hard at work providing science-based information and lots of fun activities to help our residents understand and appreciate horticulture (professional and homeowner), agriculture, 4-H youth programs, forestry issues, disaster mitigation, marine and estuary programs, and consumer information and nutrition.  

For instance, every weekday from 9AM until noon, county residents can get free help with horticultural questions provided by our University of Florida certified master gardeners.  Just call  (904) 209-0430 or come to the center.  The extension center hosts many free and lost-cost classes and events too.  See the latest newsletters on Coastal Environment, 4-H Youth,  and Lawn and Garden topics.  

But you can't fully appreciate where you are unless you know where you've been.  Learn where St. Johns County has been by visiting the  County Administration Building, 500 San Sebastian View to see the free exhibit on our county's agricultural history.  The exhibit is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.   It runs through April 24.   For more information regarding the display or the Agricultural Center,  call (904) 209-0430.
