 ding\n\nPROGRAM DESCRIPTION\nRocky Mountain Gardens is doing a tomato tria
 l. Trials are the first step in plant breeding. For the better part of the
  last hundred years regional universities have had tomato breeding program
 s but these ended in the early 1990s. Climate change and evolving tomato p
 ests and pathogens may mean that tomato varieties once adapted here may no
 t always be so. The whole concept of what a tomato is has gotten amazingly
  fancy in recent years- and we can't let Montana be left behind! Citizen s
 cience tomato breeding is the answer to how Montanans can get their hands 
 on amazing new regionally adapted varieties- and keep them coming!\n\nIn t
 his workshop we will have a brief background session to explain what Willi
 am has been doing with tomato breeding and why. We will talk about how to 
 make tomato crosses. Then we will go out to the tomato trials and make as 
 many crosses as we possibly can make together! Everyone will get to try to
  dissect a tomato flower\, remove the anthers\, and then extract pollen fr
 om another flower to make a new tomato!\n\nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR\nWilliam S
 chlegel is an independent tomato breeder. He is the breeder of several tom
 ato varieties and tomato breeding seed mixes available through Snake River
  Seeds and Experimental Farm Network including Mission Mountain Sunrise\, 
 Exserted Tiger\, and Mission Mountain Tomato Grex I and II. \nHis Montana 
 Tomato Project has been his attempt to breed new tomatoes for Montana- and
  he would welcome you to join in! William is also the breeder of the only 
 Open Source Seed Initiative pledged fava bean. In William's spare time he
