ÐÓ°Épro

Webinar offers insight into friendly, and finicky, houseplants

Houseplants can help ÐÓ°Éprons get their gardening fix even on the darkest winter days. In a free statewide webinar offered by the ÐÓ°Épro Cooperative Extension Service, learn about which plants are easy to maintain and which can be finicky.

Heidi Rader, professor of Extension, will talk about how to help your houseplants thrive, including edible and tropical plants. She will also offer some ideas on managing houseplants when you travel. 

Rader directs the ÐÓ°Épro Tribes Extension program, which promotes food sovereignty and security throughout ÐÓ°Épro. She teaches virtual and hands-on workshops on health, wellness, food and gardening. Rader has filmed more than 70 videos for a series called “In the ÐÓ°Épro Garden with Heidi Rader" and writes the blog "It Grows in ÐÓ°Épro."

The webinar is from noon-1 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15.
