The Vance/Warren Master Gardener℠ volunteers will host a series of “garden chats” for local gardening enthusiasts. The virtual, interactive lecture series is titled “Fall & Winter: The Most Important Gardening Season.” The first session is Thursday, Oct. 21 and begins at 2 p.m.
The gardening tasks of the fall and winter seasons set the stage for a beautiful and productive garden over the following spring and summer, and this educational series will provide step-by-step guidance to achieve success, according to information from Paul McKenzie, agricultural extension agent for Vance and Warren counties.
Topics include Trees & Shrubs for Birds and Pollinators, Fall Garden Chores, Vegetable Garden Season Extension, Pruning and more. All sessions will use the Zoom video conferencing platform, which is a free download for computers, smartphones and tablets.
This is a free series, but registration is required. Sign up for all sessions, or choose specific topics of interest. For more information and to register, visit http://go.ncsu.edu/mgchat. For details, contact McKenzie at paul_mckenzie@ncsu.edu, 252.438.8188 or 252.257.3640.
