The Ohio State University Extension’s Voluntary Gardening Masters program offers home gardeners the opportunity to learn new skills for the gardening season in a monthly workshop.
The program, made up of volunteers who train interested residents in horticulture, offers coffee and gardening skills once a month from April 3 to October 2. Sessions will be held on Saturday morning from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the Franklin County Office of the OSU Extension at the University’s Waterman Farm, Kunz-Brundige Extension, 2548 Carmack Road.
