Iowa State University Extension and Outreach invites all seasoned horticulturists and budding gardeners to get their questions answered with its new interactive program, Garden Q&A Live.
Held monthly via Zoom, Garden Q&A Live offers Iowans the chance to connect directly with horticulture experts and receive personalized advice on all things gardening. Aaron Steil, consumer horticulture extension specialist at Iowa State, said the new program is a great way for gardeners of all skill levels to learn from horticulture experts.
“All of us have questions from time to time in the garden, lawn and landscape,” said Steil. “Whether you’re troubleshooting a stubborn weed or wondering what to plant next season, Garden Q&A Live is designed to provide reliable, research-based answers tailored to Iowa and similar upper Midwest climates. No question is too big or too small.”
Topics for each session range widely, including trees, shrubs, fruits, vegetables, indoor plants, container gardening, lawns, weeds, pests, diseases and general plant care.
To join, participants must preregister for each virtual session, which takes place on the second Monday of each month from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The first session will be held on Sept. 8.
Attendees can submit questions in advance when they register or ask them live during the session. They’re also encouraged to share photos to help experts better understand specific issues. The program is available at no cost and is open to the public.
While the sessions are not recorded, each live event is a unique opportunity to learn from professionals and fellow gardeners across Iowa.
“Even if you don’t have a question, you’re welcome to join and grow your gardening knowledge,” Steil added.
