Master Gardener Series: Container and Small Space Gardening
(Please note, though you will receive the same Master Gardener education that you can implement immediately, this program does not lead to a Master Gardener Certification).
This series of short courses is excerpted from OSU’s Master Gardener online course, allowing you to study specific fundamentals of gardening.
Container and Small Space Gardening Course
In the Container and Small Space Gardening course you will learn about methods and materials for gardening in containers.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
Describe the various uses and benefits of containers in gardening.
Explain how container size, material, shape and placement may impact plant growth and vigor.
Evaluate the composition and structure of soilless planting mixes.
Demonstrate how and when to water and fertilize container grown plants.
Recognize and remedy problems that may occur with plants grown in containers.
Understand how containers can be used to make gardening more accessible.
The on-demand short courses are designed to boost your expertise, however, they will not lead to the full Certificate of Home Horticulture. Also please note, you will have access to the on-demand course materials for one year after your registration date.
