University of Nevada, Reno Extension and their certified Master Gardeners are holding a variety of workshops in southern Nevada or virtually through the end of November. Classes cover growing houseplants, native plants and flowers to attract pollinators, roses and fruit.

 

“Gardening is a great way to stay active and engaged during this somewhat trying time,” said Program Officer Elaine Fagin. “These workshops are really for the home gardener, to give some tips on growing things at home and in our desert climate.”

Details on the workshops include:
