Welcome Home, Tennessee

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 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 is 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).

  • When? Each Monday evening of October
  • Where? in person at the UT Extension – Hamilton County Office (6183 Adamson Circle)
  • Who? Anybody in Hamilton County looking for some horticulture/gardening information!
  • Cost? $50
