Vegetable Gardening Classes and Events

Would you like to take a gardening class, visit a demonstration garden, or "talk veggies' with a Master Gardener? University of Maryland Master Gardener programs throughout the state teach classes and workshops that are open to all interested residents. Class location, length, and size vary by county. You do not have to take the class in the county where you live.

Master Gardeners are also teaching and promoting food gardening at public events, such as fairs, festivals, and plant clinics. For more information on classes and events contact one of the coordinators listed below.

At 'Ask a Master Gardener' plant clinics, Master Gardeners look at samples of ailing plants to make a diagnosis, give recommendations, answer questions, and provide printed information on a variety of gardening subjects. Plant clinics are listed by county.

Grow It, Eat It, Preserve It workshops are taught by University of Maryland Faculty. 2012 Classes will be held in Carroll, Frederick, Montgomery, Prince George's, Queen Anne's and Washington Counties.

Note: Schedules are listed if they have been provided by the county program. Please e-mail your county coordinator for specific course information and registration.
