It may be chilly weather as winter approaches but Master Gardeners will teach you how to cultivate and grow fresh herbs in containers this winter and in your garden next spring. You'll also learn specifics about a variety of common and uncommon herbs.
Join the Harford County Master Gardeners to learn the basics of making and using compost by turning kitchen scraps, garden waste and other organic material into "black gold" without spending a dime!
Bring your questions and leave with valuable information that will help enrich your soil and benefit the environment.
Lawns have been a tradition since colonial days. But are lawns the best choice? Research across the USA shows that suburban turf is a water consumer, a maintenance time drain and a chemical-laden monoculture. Come learn from the Harford County Master Gardeners how to break the cycle!
Flowers can be picked, pickled, baked, and candied. Learn the uses of flowers in contemporary and historic culinary practices.
Join us online to learn how to cook healthy summer dishes bursting with flavor using herbs and spices while keeping food safety in mind!
Join us for a deep dive into summer health and nutrition, focusing on seasonal foods. It's Nutrition Plus!
