Grow your own local food with free help from the Washoe County Cooperative Extension

So many people have been asking about how to learn to grow food in their own front or back yards! Fortunately Northern Nevada residents have some educational options. Here's one now, from my mailbox to you:

Every winter Cooperative Extension puts on a free lecture series
called Gardening in Nevada. It's on Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 at
Bartley Ranch Regional Park.

Here's the entire Gardening in Nevada lecture schedule:
Feb. 3 - Training and Pruning Fruit Trees with Michael Janik
