For both vegetable gardeners and ornamental gardeners, there are free learning opportunities coming up in March at both in-person and virtual events.
Pat Collins of Cornell Cooperative Extension will present a free seed starting workshop on Thursday, March 2, at 1 p.m. in-person at East Hampton Library and via Zoom.
Collins will share the basics of what is needed to start planting for the coming season.

The North American Native Plant Society will present the free webinar “Native Shrubs for Your Garden” on Tuesday, March 21, at 7 p.m. Environmental educator Colleen Cirillo, a Rewilding Communities campaigner with the David Suzuki Foundation, will look at the “in between” plants — the shrubs that are not the giant trees and not the small forbs.
