Our Friends, the Bacteria with Master Gardener Steven Jakobi

Our Friends, the Bacteria with Master Gardener Steven Jakobi

BELMONT, NEW YORK – Cornell Cooperative Extension of Allegany County’s Horticulture Program welcomes you to join us for a zoom presentation, “Our Friends, the Bacteria” led by Master Gardener, Steven Jakobi. The program will be held Thursday, February 11th, via Zoom, beginning at 4:00PM.

To many, bacteria is seen as an invader, something detrimental to our family’s safety and health. Products claim to disinfect and clean, killing 99.9% of house bacteria, thus giving these microbes a bad reputation. Creating a common misnomer that bacteria are innately harmful. Come join Steven as he uncovers the unseen world of bacteria– giving some insight to why bacteria is so important and how beneficial our friends the bacteria truly are.

Pre-registration is required and there is no fee for the program. Please contact Jeremy Baier, Allegany County Cooperative Extension at 585-268-7644 ext. 14, or by email jtb273@cornell.edu for details to attend. There will be an opportunity for questions after the presentation has finished.
