Green School
The full Green School Program is CSU Extension’s premier training for gardeners, landscapers, and others working in yards, gardens, and grounds in Colorado. It includes a mix of online learning (up to date course content includes readings, videos, activities, and quizzes) and live review sessions where you have access to CSU subject matter experts who provide instruction and answer your gardening questions. Six to seven in-person labs will be offered in Grand Junction from November to March.
Science-based course material is specific to Colorado’s unique (and challenging) climate, soil, environment, insects, wildlife, and plants.
County staff can take Green School for the discounted rate of $275. Contact greenschool@colostate.edu from your county email address by October 23 for more information.
