Ready to get growing? Come learn research-based, sustainable gardening practices with N.C. Cooperative Extension, Durham County Center.

Wondering how to get the most out of your container gardens? Looking to up your fruit tree game? Bull City Gardener classes focus on managing gardens sustainably, all while improving soil health and reducing the use of fertilizers and pesticides. We're especially excited this spring to introduce two classes on container gardening. Class content is developed from the latest research in applied horticultural science from NC State Extension and other land grant institutions.

Sign up below to learn hands-on gardening techniques with us. Classes are taught by Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteers of Durham County and Extension Horticulture Agent Ashley Troth.

REGISTRATION REQUIRED FOR ALL CLASSES. Two identical sessions are offered for each class.

Please note, Container Gardening classes are $5, all other classes are free. If you need financial assistance, please email Ashley Troth at ashley_troth@ncsu.edu.
