Come learn like a Master Gardener! Our new six-webinar Dig Into Gardening Series offers a sneak peek into the Penn State Extension Master Gardener basic training curriculum and its most critical topics. Dig into the science of gardening with engaging sessions designed for new and experienced gardeners alike, combining essential garden science with practical, research-based insights you can put to work right away.
The series includes six live webinars, each lasting ninety minutes.

- Entomology and Pollinators
- Weeds and Invasives
- Native Plants
- Landscape Design
The series is scheduled to take place on Tuesday evenings, starting January 20 and running through February 24, 2026.
