K-State Garden Hour Series

Earlier this year, Extension started offering a one-hour webinar series for free!  It is called the K-State Garden Hour and was offered weekly throughout the growing season.  This fall, the program is slowing down to a monthly webinar hour.  The webinar’s include a 45-minute presentation and 10-15 minutes for questions from live participants.  Participants can register online to view the live sessions, but all sessions have been recorded.

On November 4th, Chris Mullins, the District Forester for South Central Kansas will share about the Kansas Forest Service and what they have to offer clientele.   He will also be focusing in on trees and shrubs for pollinators and Kansas wildlife.  Not only are these plants, but through the Kansas Forest Service, many of these trees and shrubs are available at a very low cost to be planted to increase pollinator & wildlife habitat.

On December 2nd, the topic will cover “Holiday Horticulture” or poinsettias.  It’s America’s top selling plant!  Cassie Homan, Horticulture Agent for Post Rock District will cover tips on how to care for this plant and other popular holiday plants.
