During these unusual times, the Gardening in the Panhandle Team has been working to bring you quality remote content through this online newsletter. In that vein, we have developed some new educational programming for our loyal readers.
We have decided to up our game by going live! Beginning May 28th and throughout the months of June, July and August we are providing one hour “Gardening in the Panhandle LIVE!” sessions on Zoom. These will occur during lunch hour, from 12:00 to 1:00 CDT. They will also be hosted on the Gardening in the Panhandle Facebook page and recorded if you can’t participate live. So, whether you are at home or work, bring your lunch up to your desk (or smart device) and enjoy Gardening in the Panhandle Live! Click HERE to pre-register and submit your questions in advance.
Our 5th topic for Thursday, July 23, will be Prepping for the Fall Garden. Please follow this link to ZOOM to register in advance for this meeting. Don’t forget to ask your question, we’ll be sending them to the extension faculty panelists in advance !
