This program will not be available in 2025. Use the below information as a guide for potential future details of the program. Other gardening opportunities are available, reach out to Haley Treadway at haleytreadway@utk.edu to join our ‘gardening’ email list.


Designed for anyone new to the area of Tennessee or just new to gardening in general! This hybrid class will give you a crash course in all the major landscape components involved in gardening. If you were ever interested in our Master Gardener Program but didn’t have the time to commit to a volunteer organization, this might be the opportunity for you. We’ll hear from experts across the state speaking live online for a lecture portion of the class (40 minutes) + FAQ (15 minutes) + we’ll finish class up with a hands-on portion related to the subject matter covered in the lecture (30 minutes). Please note: This program covers gardening related to the landscape, we will not cover food gardening.
