Adventure Pass temporarily shut down in 2025

Due to software issues affecting all libraries using the service, the Iowa Adventure Pass program will temporarily shut down in 2025. Any reservation already made for 2025 will be honored, but we encourage anyone with a current reservation to print those passes immediately. Customers can still make new reservations for passes that must be used by December 31, 2024. The service will return at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Program Description

Event Details

Join us to learn how to scout your garden to find and manage common pest and disease issues. The hands-on part of the workshop involves different stations with various plant and insect samples so you can learn how to identify some common issues. The examples that we have include diseases/pests that affect various trees or shrubs.
