Each spring/fall the Tulsa County Master Gardeners/OSU Extension teach a series of classes on a variety of topics for the home gardener. This year we have two tracks. You can sign up for either or both tracks hopefully.
Track 1 is titled Seed to Supper and intended for those whose interest is in starting a home vegetable garden or perhaps learning how to become a more successful vegetable gardener.
Track 2 is our Lawn and Landscape series which builds upon the classes from the Seed to Supper track but continues on to include pollinator gardens, trees, shrubs, and turf.
