Free Zoom Classes for Gardeners

Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension Clinton County are offering a Seed Starting Zoom class on Saturday, February 13th from 10:00 am to 11:00 am with a follow-up class on Saturday, February 27th. If you would like to start flower or vegetable seeds using items you have at home; milk cartons, yogurt containers, or anything you can poke drainage holes in, this class is for you. We’ll tell you the best practices to grow plants on your windowsill, or under lights for plants that will be ready to transplant at the appropriate time.

On Saturday, February 20, at 10:00 am the experienced Master Gardeners of Cornell Cooperative Extension, Clinton County are presenting a Zoom class on drought conditions and their effects on your garden landscape, including trees, and ways to mitigate those effects. The use of Hügelkultur and rain barrels will be covered to help you develop ways to combat drought in your landscape.
During the last several years we’ve had to decide what to water and what to let fend for itself. Should you water your vegetables, perennials, or lawn? Unfortunately, we are in an area that is on a drought watch again this year.
