The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station’s Plant Science Day is held at Lockwood Farm on the first Wednesday of August every year, beginning in 1910. This one-day event, on August 6, from 10am-4pm, at Lockwood Farm, 890 Evergreen Ave., Hamden, features reports on research, field plots, barn exhibits, tours, and other opportunities for Connecticut residents and attendees to discuss many topics of plant science on an informal basis and interact with CAES scientists and staff. While the event only lasts one day, planning for Plant Science Day is a year-round activity spearheaded by the Plant Science Day Planning Committee. This committee, chaired by Vickie M. Bomba-Lewandoski, is comprised of CAES staff members who strive to make this event as meaningful and organized as possible. We acknowledge their hard work and thank them for allowing this historic event to happen each year.
