The Penn State Extension Master Gardener Monthly Diagnostic Webinars provide volunteers with the information and resources needed to accurately and efficiently respond to county residents' gardening questions.
Webinars are held on the third Thursday of each month and feature one to two topics related to pest and disease issues or cultural information for growing a specific crop such as nuts or hops. Extension educators and specialists from across the state are invited to be instructors for each topic.
The Monthly Diagnostic Webinars are easily accessible for Master Gardeners-- not only are they free, but they are also recorded and posted in a shared folder so volunteers who are unable to watch live can view them at a later date.
