Cabin Fever Gardening Symposium “Gardening Now and for the Future”
March 2 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us at the 2024 Cabin Fever, Gardening Now and for the Future, our 14th annual gardening symposium sponsored by the Master Gardener Foundation of Spokane County. This virtual event will start on Saturday, March 2, 10 AM PST, with a live presentation by our Keynote Speaker, Jennifer Jewell.
Jennifer will explore the philosophy of “What We Sow in Cultivating Our Places,” addressing the belief that gardens/gardeners are powerful agents and spaces for potentially positive change in our world, helping to address challenges as wide ranging as climate change, habitat loss, cultural polarization, and individual and communal health and being.
Jennifer Jewell is the author of The Earth in Her Hands, 75 Extraordinary Women Working in the World of Plants (Timber Press, 2020), and Under Western Skies, Visionary Gardens from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast (Timber Press, 2021) and her third book, What We Sow: On the Personal, Ecological, and Cultural Significance of Seeds (Timber Press, 2023).
This event is an inspiring and informational virtual event with a focus on gardening now and for the future. It also celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Washington State University (WSU) Extension Spokane County Program.
The recorded presentations will cover native plants, climate change, water conservation, wildfire preparedness, adaptive gardening, traditional sustainable gardening practices, integrated pest management, native bees, and preventing invasive species. You’ll learn how to develop the skills you need so that your garden works with nature, not against it.
The recording of Jennifer’s presentation will be available for 30 days following her presentation.
The additional 10 recorded presentations will be available to all registrants to watch virtually through May 31, 2024.
Total cost for all 11 sessions is $50.
Just because it’s virtual doesn’t mean it can’t be social!
Consider creating “watch parties” with your Master Gardener friends. By participating in Cabin Fever, you’ll not only be supporting the Spokane County Master Gardener Program, and you’ll not only be enhancing your brain-health, you’ll be fulfilling the MG Program requirement for Continuing Education!
Does it get any better than that?!
