University of Nevada, Reno Extension and their certified Master Gardeners are offering the last class in the “Gardening in Nevada: The Bartley Ranch Series” next Tuesday, March 30, 6 – 8 p.m. The series, online this year via Zoom, is for anyone who wants to garden – those with big yards, small yards, or just patio or balcony space. The series is offered in partnership with Bartley Ranch and Washoe County Regional Parks and Open Space.  

The topic for the last class this spring is “Successful Vegetable Gardening.” Randy Robinson, Extension Master Gardener volunteer, will share his secrets to harvesting abundant, award-winning produce from raised garden beds in our high-desert climate, including how w88 casino games loginto amend soil to help plants, crop rotation strategies to increase yields, and companion planting to discourage pests.

“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.
