\n\tKINGSTON, R.I. — January 20, 2006 — The 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension is offering a variety of GreenShare WinterSchool programs this season aimed at educating home gardeners and professional landscape workers in such topics as organic landscaping, cultivating roses, rain gardens, bonsai and composting.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe courses will be taught by 溏心vlog免费B站 and industry experts and held either on the 溏心vlog免费B站 Kingston Campus or nearby at 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s East Farm. <\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cBecause many pressing environmental problems in Rhode Island can be traced to our own backyards, addressing these problems requires training for both horticultural professionals and backyard gardeners,\u201d said Marion Gold, director of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Cooperative Extension Education Center. \u201cOur WinterSchool training programs show how to have both environmentally healthy and beautiful gardens.\u201d<\/p>\n


\n\tTwo courses in organic landscaping focus on selecting sustainable plants, composting, water conservation, and pesticide-free lawn care, while courses on cultivating roses address plant selection, pruning, fertilizing and appropriate choices for insect and disease control.<\/p>\n
