Webinars for Green Industry Professionals

Webinars


Here are a couple of webinars to consider watching.  The first is on weed control in a container nursery which is a timely topic to consider for this time of year.  It is presented by our very own Dr. Joe Neal.   The second is a topic that may be of interest mainly to landscapers, needing to spice up their new projects.


We currently, do not have a method in place to provide CEUs for either of these webinars but they do have a lot of valuable information and unlike many of our classes can be watched at your leisure- even when it's too wet or dark outside to work.


For more information contact your local Cooperative Extension Center and ask for the Commercial Horticulture Agent.
