UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Gardeners of all skill levels interested in learning research-based gardening methods can explore core gardening science and practical tips by attending an upcoming Penn State Extension webinar series.
The “Dig Into Gardening” series will occur from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. every Tuesday from Jan. 20 to Feb. 24, 2026.
The series will include six live webinars, each lasting 90 minutes. Each webinar will offer a chance to dig into the science of gardening with sessions designed for new and experienced gardeners alike, combining essential garden science with practical, research-based insights.
Led by College of Agricultural Sciences faculty and Penn State Extension educators and Master Gardener volunteers, sessions are structured to encourage engagement through polls and a professionally facilitated question and answer session. Participants can choose to join the discussion or simply sit back and enjoy the presentations.
Among other topics, participants will learn:
Expert information about core gardening topics. The science behind common garden problems. How to use plant science to become a better gardener. The definition of “integrated pest management,” or IPM, and how it can help grow healthier plants, reduce fertilizer and pesticide use, and save money.
Organizers noted that space is limited, so preregistration is required. Participants must register by Jan. 19 to receive the link to access the webinars. Registration carries a fee of $150. A link to the recorded webinars will be emailed to registrants within 10 business days after the live event. The recording will be accessible for six months from the event date.
