University of Nevada, Reno Extension and their certified Master Gardeners offer “Gardening in Nevada: The Bartley Ranch Series.” The series is for anyone who wants to garden – those with big yards, small yards, or just patio or balcony space. These classes, offered in partnership with Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space, are free and run 6 – 8 p.m., every Tuesday, Feb. 1 – March 29, at Bartley Ranch Regional Park, 6000 Bartley Ranch Road in Reno.
“The classes, which vary by year according to the needs of the local community, offer the why’s and how’s from people who live, grow and harvest in our northern Nevada area.” Rachel McClure, Master Gardener coordinator for Extension in Washoe County, said.
The classes are taught by certified Extension Master Gardener volunteers who have experience living and gardening in northern Nevada. International Society of Arboriculture continuing education units may be available for some classes. Classes include:
Registration for the series can be done online.
