Master Spring Gardening with the UA Sierra Vista

Spring is here, and if you're getting the itch to start planting, the Cochise County Master Gardeners can help.

Brand New Spring Schedule

The Master Gardeners have put together a full schedule of Spring Master Gardener Workshops, with a new schedule concept: all of thier popular workshops will be held on a Fridays at 1:30pm.

Weekends are often full with family events and obligations. With so many local events scheduled for weekends, Fridays seem like a good compromise.

Plus, Friday afternoons may feel a little more relaxed, and since people often choose to take a Friday off or leave work early, attending a workshop may be a wonderful way to round out a week.
