Description:
Oregon Master Gardener Mini-College 2010 Theme: Beyond Backyard Basics. The Science of Sustainability. Scientific advances are leading us to ever better practices in home horticulture, and Oregon State University is where this happening. These advances are taking us beyond the basics of backyard gardening, and are increasing our knowledge and understanding of “best practices” in our backyards. What are these scientific advances? How do they apply to my backyard? How do I know if my garden is sustainable? How do I go beyond a basic backyard to a sustainable garden? Answers to these questions and more will be presented and explored at the 27th Annual Gardener’s Mini College, July 28th through July 31st on the campus of OSU. Come; join us in a quest for the answers. Meet others who share this quest. Sign up early for class selection, making sure you get your first choice. Understanding the science of sustainability will let us change the climate one backyard at a time.
