Gardeners Attention: The Cornell Cooperative Extension of Erie County’s Voluntary Gardener Hotline is scheduling Garden Fence Chats – virtual hotline hours – via Zoom Monday through Friday from 10am to 12pm.
You should start today.
Participants can share their gardening questions either over the phone or on the computer. The Garden Fence Chats room will be occupied by volunteer master gardeners and the horticulture educator.
The master gardeners open each day with a 10 to 15 minute presentation on a current topic or a frequently asked question and then keep the line open so that people can call or virtually drop by with questions, according to the press release.
Here are the topics planned for this week:
• April 6th: Garden safety with social distancing; What Are Community Gardening Best Practices?
• 7th of April: Cornell’s Gardening-Based Learning, Just Plant It, New York! Food Gardening for All – Resources and Access to Soil Testing.
• April 8th: What is happening on our urban farms this spring?
• 9th April: Avoid ticks while spending time outdoors.
