 2008 Alaska Garden & Art Festival Features Gardening Guru Ciscoe Morris
Spring is in the air at the Alaska State Fair, where organizers are already hard at work planning the fourth annual Alaska Garden and Art Festival. This year’s festival, sponsored by Denali Alaskan Federal Credit Union, takes place at the fairgrounds on Saturday, July 19 from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Admission is $5 per person; youth ages 12 and under are free.
 The festival features keynote speaker Ciscoe Morris, a Seattle-based master gardener and certified arborist. Morris spent 24 years as the grounds manager at Seattle University, and now focuses his efforts on his entertaining and informative weekly radio show, “Gardening with Ciscoe,” as well as his gardening segment on Seattle’s KING 5 TV.
