Pesticides, People, and Pollinators:

Answers to Tricky Pesticide Questions for Master Gardeners

Discussing pesticides with the public can be tricky, even for trained professionals. Master gardeners are on the front line, providing information directly to the public on a wide range of topics. In this webinar, pesticide specialists with the National Pesticide Information Center (NPIC) will provide resources that master gardeners can use to navigate these conversations. We will discuss topics including protecting pollinators from pesticides, comparing organic and conventional pesticides, how to minimize exposures to pesticides, and how individual risk perception influences behavior. Join us for live Q&A after the presentation. 

A recording of the webinar will be posted to the NPIC YouTube channel.

Thursday, April 12th at 1:00pm EST (10:00am PT)

Target audience: Master Gardeners, County Extension Agents, Universities
Presenters: Alicia Leytem & April Strid, Pesticide Specialists, NPIC

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.

Plant Medicine Summit

From Phyllis Hogan via Dorothy Lamm
Subject: Plant Medicine Summit: Restore Balance & Experience Deep Healing

Greetings,
What if the power to heal was all around you in the natural world?
Since the dawn of humanity, people from across the globe have used what was in “nature’s pharmacy” to heal themselves — botanical treatments, healing tinctures and medicinal remedies from the herbs, flowers and flora that surrounded them.
While the advances of modern medicine are miraculous, as we’ve pursued the newest frontiers of science, we’ve too often lost touch with our biological and spiritual connection to nature... and the healing power that comes through our plant allies.
Plants can purify, rejuvenate and evolve us, as well as sharpen our minds, extend our lives and deepen our connection with this blessed planet.
This is why I’m passionate about you joining me for The Plant Medicine Summit, where you’ll discover medicinal plants that can be easily grown in your garden — or otherwise accessed locally — and be introduced to trusted guides who can show you exactly how to use them wisely and effectively.
