Step one is answering to the curiosity of growing plants. From there, whether new to gardening or someone with years of experience but ready to talk plants, register for the upcoming Growing Great Vegetables webinars, a five-week webinar series from Illinois Extension exploring what it takes to grow vegetables from start to harvest. 

Participants will log on for weekly online workshops starting March 4. Each session will explore a new topic and give participants the opportunity to engage with Extension horticulture experts.
