The Home Gardener's School offers you expert instruction in the most innovative gardening and landscaping subjects available. We are proud to offer you a wider variety of classes, over four different sessions, so you may participate in many diverse class offerings throughout the day. Speakers from our commercial horticulture and landscape design programs will be participating along with Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE) & New Jersey Agriculture Experiment Station (NJAES) faculty and staff, providing you opportunities to learn from the best in the business.

Spend the morning learning how to design your landscape and the afternoon listening to a lecture on bulbs. Participate in our hands-on flower-arranging workshops and take home a beautiful container of fresh flowers that you designed. Highly energetic and knowledgeable speakers will teach you about landscape design, annuals, perrenials, containers, water gardens, butterflies, pruning, gardening equipment, and a whole host of other practical topics designed to prepare you and your garden for the spring and beyond. And, all of this is packed into one day for a low registration fee! So join us on Saturday, March 21, 2009 for our "33rd Annual - Spring Home Gardener's School"
