Planting gardens is a great way to relax and a good stress reliever but sometimes you may have more questions about proper ways to garden and maybe questions concerning better ways to care for your plants.  Andrew Holsinger, with the U of I Extension Office, is a horticulture educator.  He says that they have some upcoming classes on container gardening and they just finished up some classes on growing great tomatoes and raised bed gardening. 

Coming up is also a class on Shade Gardening.

Visit go.illinois.edu/cjmmevents to register online with those courses.  The Master Gardeners are in full swing and encourage you to ask if you need help with gardening questions.

With May bringing thunderstorms and bad weather, paying attention to what your trees look like is important. 

For more information on these programs or for any questions, email Andrew Holsinger at aholsing@illinois.edu.  Andrew Holsinger appeared as a guest on the WTIM Morning Show.
