OSKALOOSA — Microgreens; sometimes called vegetable confetti, are seedlings of specific vegetables, herbs and other plants.  They add color and nutrients to any dish you prepare.  Many like to add microgreens to soups, stews, salads, sandwiches, main dishes, and use as garnishes.  They have been appearing in grocery stores since 2010.  Are they something gardeners should consider growing their own?  The public is invited as Master Gardener Veronica Grim tells us about Microgreens and how to grow them. The presentation will be on Friday September 6 at 10 am and will be held at the Mahaska County Extension office, 212 North I Street Oskaloosa.

The event is free and open to the public.  Registration is not required to attend but appreciated.  To register, call 641-673-5841 or email striegel@iastate.edu.
