Still seeking your continuing education credit hours?

If you’re still seeking to fill your continuing education hours for Master Gardener certification, remember there is a whole suite of Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up webinars available on our website.

Want to learn about the latest research on if you should leave your leaves in the fall garden? Learn about native plants with experts from across the state? Maybe you want to extend the growing season and dig deep into succession planting.

These one-hour webinars, produced by a team of OSU horticulture extension faculty and staff can count as one hour each of continuing education.

And, we have two more coming up: one this week is all about soil fertility and nutrient cycling, and November’s is growing specialty and culturally relevant vegetables, fruits, and herbs and how to grow them in home gardens in our Oregon climates.

We’re planning next year’s line-up, so let us know if you have any special requests!
