An important part of being a Master Gardener is staying current on the latest horticultural science. With that in mind, OSU Extension has developed a webinar series to supplement other classes you may take this year. Remember, you need at least 10 hours of approved education by October 31 to be recertified. Each webinar in this series is approved for 1 hour of continuing education.
What is a webinar? A webinar is a seminar that is presented over the internet. The presenter(s) will show slides and photos while they are speaking on their topic. There is a Q&A box to enter your questions. Each webinar will be ~40 minutes long and followed by a moderated Q&A session.
How do I participate? For more information on each session click the link below. Once you’re there, click on the “Location” link to pre-register for the webinar and get emailed reminders. There is no cost to participate and the webinars are open to all. If you can’t attend the live webinar, a recording will be available.

We need your help to keep the OSU Master Gardener Advanced Training Webinar Series going in 2019 & beyond!
The backstory: This series was started at the county level in 2017. Free access was extended to all Master Gardeners statewide because the technology was provided at no cost. Due to changes in the structure of the national Extension organization, OSU Extension will no longer have free access to their webinar platform and technical support staff starting in 2019. We feel our webinar series provides a valuable and accessible educational opportunity to our Master Gardener volunteers and we’re not ready to stop yet! But, each monthly webinar costs ~$250 to deliver (with the speakers generously donating their time). We have secured temporary funding to keep the webinars going at least through May 2019.
If you or your county MG Association would like to support this series, please consider making a tax-deductible donation via the Agricultural Research Foundation at Oregon State University.
You can donate online: Visit the Donate Now page of the Agricultural Research Foundation, and select the ‘Master Gardener Advanced Training Webinars‘ link. From there, you can click on the yellow Donate button to make a tax-deductible donation via PayPal or credit card.
