Green Thumb Logoreen Thumb Lecture Series
2010

The Green Thumb seminars are designed to provide community members with a solid foundation of home horticulture information. Participants will leave with practical information and knowledge to help them have the best looking yards in the neighborhood.

The topics chosen mirror the Master Gardener volunteer training classes. For those unable to take the Master Gardener course, this may provide a viable alternative.
