Get Your Hands Dirty: Public Garden Workdays!
Want to learn the secrets of a thriving garden and gain practical skills? Join us for our Public Garden Workdays! These events are a fantastic opportunity for anyone interested in gardening, from complete beginners to seasoned green thumbs, to dive in and get hands-on experience.

What to Expect
Our garden workdays are designed to be interactive and educational. You'll work alongside Extension Master Gardeners, learning best gardening practices directly from those who know them best. This isn't just about theory; you'll be actively participating in various garden tasks, putting those practices into action.

Come Prepared!
To make the most of your experience, please dress for the weather – whether it's sunny, cloudy, or a bit chilly. We'll be outside, so comfortable clothing that you don't mind getting a little dirty is ideal. Most importantly, come ready to learn and engage with fellow garden enthusiasts!
