Extension Gardener classes are a series of lectures and hands-on workshops for home and community gardeners about how to grow vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, shrubs and more. Using the latest research in applied horticultural science from NC State Extension and other land grant institutions, participants will learn how to grow food sustainably and learn how to incorporate native plants into their landscape to support beneficial insects, birds and other wildlife. Classes are structured for the general public and we love questions! These classes are a prerequisite to the Extension Master Gardener℠ Training.
All classes are held on Tuesdays and will run from 1:00 to 2:30 PM
