Gardening related programs available to the public.
40 Gallon Challenge
Strategies to reduce our region’s water use on average by 40 gallons per person, per day. The challenge began in 2011 as a voluntary campaign to increase water conservation.
Bee Keeping Education and Engagment System
Online resource for beekeepers at all levels. The system is entirely internet based and open to the public. The structure of the BEES network is broken into three ascending levels of difficulty (Beginner, Advanced, and Ambassador) and three general areas of content (honey bee biology, honey bee management, and the honey bee industry). No specialized equipment or prior experience necessary—just an internet connection, a standard web browser, and a desire to learn about bees!
