If you haven’t participated in the K-State Garden Hour in the past, plan to start this year.
The K-State Garden Hour began in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as a way for K-State Research and Extension horticulture experts to share research-based information to gardeners of all abilities and experience.
Due to the overwhelming success, the K-State Garden Hour is gearing up for its sixth year.
The 2026 lineup has been announced, featuring great topics and hosted by K-State Research and Extension horticulture staff across the state. Sessions are held on the first Wednesday of each month, online from noon to 1 p.m., including a 45-minute presentation and 10-15 minutes for viewer questions.
The 2026 webinars are based on the topics participants request most often. A one-time registration gives viewers free access to all of the 2026 sessions, which include:
• Feb. 4 – Honey Bee Colony Management and Key Floral Resources in Kansas
