Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County (CCE Oswego) will be hosting an herb
gardening workshop on Saturday, September 26th from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Schneider
Shineman Community Garden in Oswego, NY. This workshop will provide an overview of herb
gardening for homeowners and backyard gardeners.
Julia Kinsey, Master Gardener Volunteer for CCE Oswego, will discuss the benefits of growing
your own herbs and how easy it is to get started. She will highlight common herbs that are popular
to grow, as well as less well-known herbs that are fun and worth considering. She will also touch on
herbs ideal for indoors and outdoors. Afterwards, Hubert Parrow, fellow Master Gardener
Volunteer, will provide a tour of the Schneider Shineman Community Garden. He will discuss how
the community garden got started, and how attendees can get involved if interested. There will be
plenty of time for questions.
This program is sponsored by the CCE Oswego Master Gardener Volunteer Program in
partnership with the Schneider Shineman Community Garden. The workshop is free to attend, but
pre-registration is required. Please go to
