Growing in Kootenai County

University of Idaho Extension trains local Idaho Master Gardeners to provide research-based horticulture education.

Idaho Master Gardeners develop and share expertise in topics including:

• Food production
• Integrated pest management techniques
• Improving soil fertility
• Choosing the right trees
• Growing turf grass
• Sustainable yards and gardens

Classes and Workshops for Community Members

We offer low cost horticulture, homesteading, permaculture and basic gardening workshops and classes to our community.

Horticulture Class Series — Postponed until 2021

Due to the University of Idaho's COVID-19 policy on gatherings of 10 or more, speaker and participant travel limitations, and other concerns associated with COVID-19, we have made the difficult decision to postpone until 2021 the 2020 Idaho Master Gardeners’ Annual Horticulture Class Series. If you have already registered for a class, please contact our office regarding your refund: 208-446-1680 or kootenai@uidaho.edu. We are currently working on other ways to get horticulture resources into your hands. Please join our email list to be the first to receive 2021 class information when registration opens in November 2020.

Thank you for your patience as we all navigate the current reality. Remember that smiles are also contagious, and conversations have not been canceled. If there is anything we can do to serve you during this time, please let us know.
