I've known Dr. Eldon Everhart for many years through Iowa State University Extension and working with him on the ISU Master Gardener program and the Siouxland Garden Show.  It is my pleasure to recommend Eldon for his horticultural knowledge.

    It was my pleasure to work with Dr. Everhart for nearly 25 years.  During that time, he solved problems for hundreds of home owners and farm families.  He was also an excellent instructor for the ISU Master Gardener program and various field days for youth.

Dr. Everhart has a passion for education and horticulture!  His knowledge is both broad and deep.  I have known him and worked with him for many years.  He is the “Aronia Berry Expert” in the United States.  I recommend that you contact him and you will find out all the ways he can help you.

Dr. Everhart has accumulated a lifetime
of horticultural knowledge and expertise in working with Iowa specialty crop producers.
I often recommended him to new growers and
he is the “must talk to” expert for anyone considering aronia berries.

Eldon asked me to be a speaker at the Siouxland Garden Show over a year in advance, which speaks volumes about his organizational skills.  He provided ample support and I sailed through the beautiful, well-attended event without any worry or stress.  Working with Eldon was a pleasure!

Eldon was the horticulture instructor at Iowa Lakes Community College who inspired me on to a career in horticulture. We covered a lot of information in those two years and Eldon was always there with excellent answers to questions and encouragement....  Thanks very much Eldon.
