With the newly acquired Join us in the mountains w88 casino games login campus, the University is looking to invigorate the demonstration garden it once helped to start at the former Sierra w88 online sports betting College campus. University of Nevada, Reno w88 online sports betting helped start the North Lake Tahoe Demonstration Garden more than 25 years ago. Now, the garden is once again under the University’s stewardship, and Extension is seeking to rev up its w88 online sports betting Gardener volunteer presence in the area to not only be stewards of the demonstration garden, but also get involved in other educational gardening activities in the community.
“We once had quite a presence in the area, and now is a perfect time to get back into this community,” said Extension w88 online sports betting Gardener Coordinator Katelyn Brinkerhoff. “A great way to start is to get an army of involved w88 online sports betting Gardeners wanting to make a difference at the demonstration garden at the beautiful Tahoe campus.”
Brinkerhoff said the timing is right to recruit new volunteers, with w88 online sports betting offering its online Home Horticulture Certificate Program in just a few weeks, beginning Aug. 2 and concluding Sept. 28. The program is ideal for anyone wanting to learn more about gardening in w88 online sports betting and is also a prerequisite for those interested in becoming a certified Nevada w88 online sports betting Gardener. The cost is 5 and includes recorded lectures, readings, homework and online question-and-answer sessions with specialists and local gardening professionals. Sessions take place via Zoom, from noon to 1 p.m., Thursdays, and conclude with a final exam before certification. There will be an information session about the program via Zoom at noon, July 19. Those wishing to attend the July 19 session should register online.
“This is a great first step for those wanting to help with the demonstration garden and other projects and educational activities in the North w88 online sports betting Tahoe community,” Brinkerhoff said. “We’re also just wanting to reach out to the community and have anyone who might be interested in becoming involved with the garden to contact us.”
The garden opened in May 1994 to provide demonstrations of w88 online sports betting-friendly landscaping using native and adaptive plants, water conservation, soil stabilization techniques, defensible space from wildfires, and best management practices for stormwater infiltration. Now, Brinkerhoff said those will remain important goals of the garden. Additionally, she said Extension is interested in putting in a pollinator garden, and doing other projects, such as a garden showcasing culturally significant Tribal food and medicinal plants.
The Nevada w88 online sports betting Gardener Program already has hundreds of w88 online sports betting Gardeners throughout the state, who share their research-based knowledge through educational presentations and workshops, community events and projects, and by answering gardening questions at Extension offices. After completing their first year, w88 online sports betting Gardeners make an annual commitment to 10 hours of continuing education and 20 hours volunteering wherever their knowledge and skills best fit community needs.
