One of the first things we’re taught about plants is that they need sun, water, air, and soil to grow. But while having dirt doesn’t hurt, you can grow a surprising amount of food with little—or no—land. Master Gardener Richard Bertram will walk us through some methods, such as hydroponics and using vertical space.
Presenters: Richard Bertram has been a Master Gardener in Umatilla County for nearly a decade. He credits his aptitude for picking up gardening lore to his curiosity and willingness to simply try things. This has made him a resource for topics ranging from hydroponics to figs, and he presents on these and other topics.
About Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up Series
The cost of food keeps climbing. One in five people faces hunger in Oregon. And the pandemic showed us the fragility of our supply system. Growing our own food—for us, for our families, for our neighbors—is an action gardeners can take to strengthen food security in our local communities. This year's Growing Oregon Gardeners: Level Up series is aimed at helping gardeners take a bite out of hunger. The closed-captioned webinars will be broadcast via Zoom and streamed via our Facebook page on the second Tuesday of the month, at noon, February through October 2024. This series is open to the public, and OSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers receive 1 Continuing Education Credit for each class. You can take one, or take all. This webinar is being recorded and will be available to view on our website within two weeks of airdate.
