There’s no doubt that one of the great pleasures of gardening is the pleasure of putting your hands into the earth and being present to watch things grow. In-person gardening classes are also part of the experience.
Usually.
But now, while the Covid-19 pandemic is keeping us in our homes and separated, Cornell Cooperative Extension master gardeners throughout the state are offering the next best thing – virtual gardening classes via Zoom.
