Treat yourself this summer to a 2-day educational event at this year’s Oregon Master Gardener Association Joy of Gardening Conference, July 7-8, at the OSU Alumni Center in Corvallis. We are lucky to have two fantastic Keynote speakers lined up.

Saturday features: Andony Melathopoulos on pollinator health and increasing bee habitat. He is an Assistant Professor of Pollinator Health Extension in the Department of Horticulture at OSU.
Each day will offer 12 classes to choose from. Go deep with plant experts exploring the growing of native plants, gardening for pollinators, vegetables, and olive trees. Learn current science techniques for building healthy garden soil, raised beds, urban gardening, and biological pest control.
The Joy of Gardening Conference has something for everyone. The instructors are seasoned speakers, as well as topic experts. Master Gardeners can earn recertification credits for all classes.
