As the gardening season winds down, SDSU Extension is gearing up to keep the green thumbs active with its Garden Hour series, tailored for the fall and winter months. This educational series, set to kick off on April 1, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. CST, is designed to provide invaluable gardening insights during the typically quieter off-season.
Garden Hour will be offered every other month, allowing participants to delve into a variety of topics crucial for gardeners looking to extend their knowledge and prepare for the next growing season.
The sessions will cover an array of subjects including tree care, houseplants, dealing with indoor insect pests, and effective methods for the storage and preservation of produce.
These interactive sessions are an excellent opportunity for gardeners to gather and discuss their harvest strategies and troubleshoot common issues encountered during the winter months.
By addressing these topics, the series aims to equip participants with the skills necessary to achieve even greater gardening success in the upcoming year.
Registration for the Garden Hour is completely free, but interested individuals must sign up to receive the necessary Zoom link and reminders for each session. A one-time registration ensures access to all scheduled sessions, simplifying participation for all attendees.
This initiative by SDSU Extension reflects its commitment to supporting the gardening community throughout the year, promoting continuous learning and improvement.
Whether you're a novice looking to start your first houseplant or an experienced gardener seeking to optimize your harvest, the Garden Hour offers resources and expert guidance to enhance your gardening journey, even during the off-season.
