Horticulture Education Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension Tompkins County offers dozens of classes each year about horticulture, agriculture, food preservation, and more. Visit our events page for current programs! All registrants of hybrid programs (regardless of payment level) will receive a video recording of the class with permission of the presenter. Hands-on workshops will not be recorded and may have a required materials fee.

Below is a list of past recordings available, fill out this form, make sure to put the class(es) you'd like in the box. If you don't see a class or topic on the list, email us! Not all past classes are listed and we are always interested what programs people would like to see.

Our Horticulture Education Series are pay-what-you-can. The classes are valued at $20, if you can afford to pay $20 or more, you are helping make these classes available to folks who cannot afford the full price.
