The horticulture agents of Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph and Yadkin Counties are partnering to offer an introductory gardening series. This eight-part class series will focus on general planting and maintenance tips for growing ornamental plants and edibles. The topics covered will be most pertinent to new and beginning gardeners, but all are welcome to attend! 

Classes will be offered on Thursdays in March and April at 11 a.m. All classes will be held virtually via Zoom. The program format is a 1-hour presentation followed by 30 minutes for Q&A. Pre-registration through Eventbrite is required for each individual class you are interested in, and opens two weeks prior to the event. More information about each topic is available on the Eventbrite page for each class.
