During the peak season, gardening advice inevitably comes at you from everywhere and everyone—whether you’re looking for it or not. When all I can focus on is staying on top of weeding, watering, and harvesting, I’m inundated with influencers on my social media feeds offering countless tips, tricks, and recommendations. As I’m hunched over my beds, sweating into the soil and wondering why I always plant so many needy tomato plants, I often have a well-intentioned friend or family member giving their opinions and suggestions.
However, when the weather turns and most of the garden goes to bed for the winter, when my time frees up and the excitement for planning and prepping surges, the advice dries up. There is always something new and shiny to check out on social media, but this time is mostly dominated by seed-starting and houseplant-care videos. If you’re looking for more inspiration for the upcoming growing season and, even more importantly, to connect with fellow gardeners about questions and concerns, we’re excited to announce a new member benefit: free monthly gardening webinars.
If you’re thinking, Hey, didn’t you guys do that before?—you’re absolutely right. Back in 2020, when the usual string of in-person gardening events were abruptly canceled, we began a series of virtual gardening events to fill that gap. Yet, as with many pandemic-era crazes, the slow shift back into real-world gatherings saw the end of these webinars as we put our attention on other initiatives such as e-learning courses.
After a bit of downtime, we’re thrilled to bring these interactive sessions back with a whole new batch of inspiring and informative topics and experts from across North America. Maybe you have already attended one of the webinars we have hosted since last fall—The Secrets to Spring Bulbs with Joseph Tychonievich, All About Growing Conifers with Mark Dwyer, Mastering Soil Health with Kirsten Kurtz, The Winter Gardening Roundtable with Andy Pulte and Jason Reevesor Growing Heirloom Vegetables with Fionuala Campion—or perhaps you watched one of the recordings on our YouTube channel.
These hour-long sessions are the perfect place to ask your gardening questions and get specific, detailed answers straight from an expert in that field or from your region. They are also always recorded, so you can return to a certain snippet or catch a webinar you missed at a time convenient to you. Moving forward, these recordings will not be available on YouTube and will be an exclusive benefit of All Access membership here on finegardening.com.
