The North Fulton Master Gardeners are offering FREE virtual gardening workshops this spring. Each class emphasizes practical gardening activities at the time of year that is best suited for that activity.
The series of classes will be available through live Zoom webinars and Facebook Live.
If you can’t make the live presentation, you can watch the video later at the North Fulton Master Gardeners YouTube Channel.
Please register in advance for the classes that interest you. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email telling you how to join the webinar. If you register and can’t attend the class, you’ll receive a link to the recorded presentation.
The classes are listed below.
And below that, we have a list of videos from last fall’s virtual seminars — give them a look, too!
