Topics for this season are as follows: 

May 15th: Using a cold frame and taking plants from house to garden;

Each Evening in the Garden also provides time for questions and answers, tours of the demonstration garden, free pH soil testing and sometimes, a tasting. All ages and groups are welcome to attend the Evening in the Garden, and we hope you will come full of questions and ideas that the Master Gardeners can discuss. If you're a first time gardener, or an established gardener, come find out what's new or tried & true.

Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program

The Master Gardener Program is a national program of trained volunteers who work in partnership with their county Cooperative Extension office to expand educational outreach throughout the community by providing home gardeners with research-based information. The first Master Gardener program was started in Washington state in 1972. Forty-six states now have Master Gardener programs.

Here in Chautauqua County, this program is part of our community horticulture outreach activity, with volunteers educating home gardeners, youth in schools and after school programs, community gardeners, and consumers of horticulture products. Neighbors teach neighbors about landscape, fruit, vegetables, herbs, beneficial and harmful insects, plant diseases, integrated pest management, wildlife, soils, composting and much more.
