Get inspired to start that dream gardening project.
Gardeners manage a range of factors and elements to help plants grow. Extension helps bring all the pieces together in a one-day, nine-session webinar symposium, Gardening in the Air, led by horticulture experts from across the Midwest.
The 2026 fall edition will take place from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Central time on Saturday, Oct. 24, and will feature a wide range of topics, including runaway landscape management, herbs, growing perennials, trees, tomato troubles, and more.
Gardening in the Air is a virtual event held seasonally and co-hosted by University of Illinois Extension and Iowa State University Extension.
Online symposium attendees can mix and match session topics to create an individualized experience. Three different topics happen each at 9 a.m., 10:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m. Central time. All sessions will be offered via Zoom, requiring participants to have internet access and a valid email address. There is no cost to attend, but registration is required by Oct. 18 to receive link access. Select programs will be recorded and made available to registered participants at a later date.
If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in this program, contact Tracy Jo Mulliken at tmully@illinois.edu or by phone at 309-756-9978. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet access needs.
