Lawn care in-service for community horticulture educators
October 23 & 24, 2007 (Tuesday 11 a.m. to Wednesday 1 p.m.)
Lawn care for community horticulture educators, featuring Cornell’s turf grass experts.
CCE educators report that up to 50% of all home care inquires their county offices receive are about lawn care; for many counties that’s more than 800 lawn related questions per year. This in-service provides an opportunity for educators to hear first hand form the Cornell turf experts how to best address homeowner questions with the latest research findings. Participants will then be able to practice applying that knowledge in hands on activities guided by experienced practitioners. Participants will also be eligible to receive funds to organize regional lawn care trainings for other educators and Master Gardener Volunteers in spring 2008.
