This month's gardening series topic is "All About Alpacas."

Who doesn't love the look of alpacas? They are interesting, friendly, easily domesticated animals with a gentle disposition. And did you know that alpaca farming is becoming quite popular and can be profitable?

Alpaca farming is environmentally friendly because alpacas do not have a significant impact on the landscape. Profits from alpaca farming are two-fold: marketing alpaca's offspring to other farms and selling alpacas' lush coat to wool spinners.

Come hear how alpacas can be a part of your farm.

Program presented by Carri Jagger, Agriculture and Natural Resources Educator at Morrow County OSU Extension Office, and Master Gardener, Darlyn Shumaker of Alpaca Darlyn's Suri Farm.
