COMMUNITY AND URBAN HORTICULTURE

Talkin’ Plants!

A team of dedicated Master Gardeners were recognized in 2023 for their work developing and delivering the “Let’s Grow Together! 10-Minute University™ Webinar Series” by being awarded the Oregon Master Gardener Association’s statewide “Search for Excellence” award. The award recognizes superior Master Gardener volunteer work across the state of Oregon.

This webinar series sprouted in response to the COVID pandemic and has proved to be so successful that it has continued as an exceptional community service program. The annual series offers 1-hour long webinars packed with practical and proven gardening guidance. Topics range from “Growing Early Season Vegetables” to “Gardening for Wildlife”. Webinars are streamed live and recorded allowing participation for individual schedules. Since its inception in 2021, the “Let’s Grow Together!” series has had over 50,000 views.
