Organic Composting
Composting may be one of the most misunderstood secrets to successful gardening. Join us to see how a few simple, organic principles can boost the health of your garden soil tremendously.
Soil Basics
The soil in Central New York is unique, and it varies throughout our region. Catch this overview to learn how to test your soil and what amendments you need to achieve just the right balance for whatever you’re growing.
House Plant Care
As the weather cools, you’ll be spending a lot more time indoors. Keep some green in your life with healthy, beautiful houseplants. We’ll show you how simple it is to keep your plants thriving!
Pollinators play an important role in native ecosystems, home gardens and global food production. Master Gardener John Nelson teaches you about the range of pollinators active in our gardens and what you can do to make your yard more attractive to them.
Just because you don’t have much space doesn’t mean you can’t garden. Raised beds help you make the most of your space, and keep weeds and critters out. Join Master Gardener Brandie Waite to learn the basics of raised bed gardening.
