2022 Gardening Education Calendar

Welcome to the 2022 Gardening Education Calendar!  Please check back often as we update this page with more workshops and webinars.

COVID safety precautions will be in place for all our in-person classes and must be followed by every participant. All participants will be required to adhere to the same COVID safety procedures as our staff.  Regardless of vaccination status, students will be expected to stay socially distanced and to bring a mask and be prepared to wear it when staff and/or instructors indicate that masks are required.  No exceptions. 

Our virtual webinars, videos, and Facebook Live events are great alternatives for individuals wanting to learn about organic vegetable gardening but not wanting to mask or socially distance in our teaching gardens. 

Webinars and workshops will be made available for online registration and payment on a rolling basis, so if the class you're looking for doesn't have a live registration link yet, please check back.  Dates subject to change.

Pre-registration is required for our webinars and workshops. For our free Facebook Live "Garden Coaching" sessions, there is no online registration. Just visit our Facebook page at 4:30pm on the dates indicated below and join the live discussion.

Note: Our recorded webinars from 2021 are no longer available for registering to view on demand. If you purchased any webinar(s) on or before December 31st, 2021, you will still be able to view the recording on demand this year.
