Spring Webinars Available from Oregon Extension

Spring 2018 Webinars for Master Gardeners

Free, Advanced Training Webinars for MGs

Apologies for cross postings.

Dr. Brooke Edmunds (Extension Master Gardener Faculty in Oregon) is once again hosting free, advanced training webinars for Master Gardeners. While the presenters and focus tends towards Oregon, the topics would be of broad interest (I believe) to MGs, in general.

If you feel that these webinars would be useful for your MGs, or if you know of MGs looking for online CEU opportunities, please share this information with them.

You can take master gardener education credit for these if you participate.  Hattie Braun
