4:15 p.m. EDT, virtual. UK Extension is hosting another installment of Greenhouse Educators Training. The webinar will feature two Kentucky schoolteachers, Chris Thomas (LaRue Co.) and Brian Prewitt (Whitley Co.), who will share their experiences teaching and maintaining indoor agriculture systems at their schools. The event should run 30-45 minutes, including a live audience Q&A. If you cannot attend, the session will also be recorded for later viewing. Please reach out to Arundathi Sharma (arundathi.sharma@uky.edu) for the link and password to the Zoom meeting if you have not already received one. Agents can also access the training on KERS and are welcome to forward their invitations to educators in their counties who might be interested in attending. We look forward to seeing you there!
