SUMMARY:Using Rain Gardens and Bioswales to Harvest Water
DESCRIPTION:10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nRain Gardens allow water to seep through soils and into the ground rather than losing it to storm drains. Bioswales slow water flow and cleanse runoff. Both help restore the natural water cycle in developed areas where pavement and hard surfaces route rainfall directly into streams or sewers. \nThis class will explain the difference between a rain garden and a bioswale. It will begin with how to evaluate the site slope\, examine soil\, and observe the movement of water throughout the property. This will clarify whether a bioswale or rain garden is a good match for your site. Then we will show\, step-by-step\, how to make them. \nClass speaker Cheryl Borden is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener™ who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University Program. Cheryl retired from decades of teaching children to become a garden educator for adults. Cheryl gardens at home and manages the Pollinator Garden at Mary S. Young State Park. \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway. A recording link will be sent 2 days after the class. Register here

SUMMARY:Ten Proven Ideas for a Bee-Friendly Garden
DESCRIPTION:10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nMason bees and leafcutter bees are solitary\, non-aggressive\, don’t sting\, and quietly go about their business as prolific pollinators for fruit trees and vegetables. They require very little to make them happy\, and they are active at different times of the year.  This class will explain how to host both mason and leafcutter bees. Topics will include: \n\nHow and when to set out mason bees in the spring and leafcutter bees in the summer\nThe environmental conditions for healthy bees\nStoring the cocoons\nHow to clean cocoons and store them safely.\n\nThe class will also explore ways to encourage the many species of native\, ground-nesting bees that are an important part of a healthy habitat. Approximately 70% of native bees nest underground\, including the beloved bumble bees (Bombus sp.). A few simple steps can provide a garden where many species of bees can thrive. \nClass speaker Leah Puhlman is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. Leah has years of experience working with mason bees\, hosting them in her own garden and elsewhere. Her mason bee “herd” in 2022 numbered around 20\,000! \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway.

SUMMARY:Soil and Planting
DESCRIPTION:10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nIn recent years research has shown that alternatives to “common sense” traditions for planting trees\, shrubs\, potted flowers and vegetable starts results in quicker growth and healthier plants. This class will share current “best practices” based on recent horticultural research. It begins with tips on when to plant and when to wait\, how and whether to amend the soil\, special considerations for “clay” soil (and non-clay soils that act like clay). The class will cover how to prepare the plant\, how deep and wide to dig the hole\, and post-planting care like mulching\, staking\, watering\, fertilizing\, and pruning. \nClass speaker Sherry Sheng is an Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener who teaches for the award-winning 10-Minute University™ Program. She gardens at home and in a community garden. \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway. A recording link will be sent 2 days after the class. Register here

SUMMARY:Climate Friendly Lawns
DESCRIPTION:10-Minute University™ is the trademark of short classes on essential gardening information. All presentations are free and each is accompanied by a handout. Oregon State University owns the trademark and Clackamas County Master Gardeners develop and manage the program. \nIt has become fashionable to condemn lawns as wasteful and damaging to the environment. In fact\, however\, all plants have the potential to capture carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis\, and the lawn’s long growing season means that it has real potential for pulling carbon from the air into grass blades and root systems. \nSo\, how to maximize a lawn’s potential for carbon sequestration? \nOSU’s Turf Management Program researchers are studying how to make lawns more climate friendly. This session will review what types of lawns are most eco-friendly\, and how best to mow\, fertilize\, and irrigate for both healthy plants and maximum carbon sequestration.  It will also discuss which cultural practices to avoid because they encourage soil microbes to break down organic matter\, thus releasing carbon back into the atmosphere. \nAlec Kowalewski\, Ph.D.\, has over 20 years of research experience and multiple publications on various turfgrass species obtained while employed at Michigan State University\, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College\, the University of Georgia\, and Oregon State University.  Alec is an Associate Professor at Oregon State University. He teaches classes in the Department of Horticulture and provides Extension material for stakeholders in turfgrass and landscape management. His primary research interest is improving the economic and environmental sustainability of turfgrass. \nThis online seminar is free with advanced registration. Even if you cannot attend live\, register anyway. A recording link will be sent 2 days after the class. Register here
