Genesee County Master Gardeners are resuming their monthly Garden Talk series beginning August 5. Currently all Garden Talk programs are being held on Zoom, from noon to 12:45 p.m. This free series is open to all. Registration is required. A Zoom link to the event will be emailed. To register, visit the events page at the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Genesee County website, http://genesee.cce.cornell.edu/events.
Upcoming topics are:
•August 5 – “Beneficial Insects.” Most of the insects that live in your garden or landscape do little or no harm to you or your plants. Many provide free pest control. Join Master Gardener David R. to learn about the beneficial insects that could be in your garden.
•September 2 – “A Year in the Life of a Garden.” Gardens aren’t static; they change as we progress through the seasons, and evolve over the years. Sometimes change comes from losing a major tree in the garden or a change in your lifestyle. Join Master Gardener Lynette S. to explore the changes that have taken place in her small city garden.
•October 7 – “Winter Bird Feeding 101.” Winter bird feeding can be entertaining for you and beneficial for the birds. Learn tips on “setting the table” for your neighborhood feathered friends.
•November 4 – “Harvest of Squash.” Master Food Preserver Catherine J. will explain the different types of squash, how to prepare them for use, store them for later, and share a few recipes for that bountiful harvest.
•December 2 – “Gifts from the Kitchen.” Join Master Food Preserver Catherine J. as she demonstrates some ideas you can use this holiday season.
