Hillsborough Extension Offers November Workshops on Irrigation, Composting and Yard Pests

Hillsborough County Extension Service’s November learning calendar gives residents and landscape professionals several opportunities to strengthen practical outdoor-property skills. Remaining sessions highlighted by the County include an in-person Composting Workshop, Microirrigation Workshop, and Rainwater Harvesting Workshop on Nov. 7; a Meet Your Forest tree and fungi walk-and-talk on Nov. 10; a nursery grower update on Nov. 12; a responsible yard-pest workshop on Nov. 18; a virtual Protect the Waterfront session on Nov. 19; aquatic and natural-area pest-plant training on Nov. 20; and a Recycle Yard Waste workshop on Nov. 25. The County says these programs are part of a broader month of research-based Extension education covering gardening, landscaping, water conservation, natural resources, and professional horticulture.

The schedule is useful for Tampa-area homeowners who want hands-on guidance about compost, irrigation efficiency, rainwater use, pest management, and yard-waste practices, while the professional sessions address nursery production and aquatic plant management. Hillsborough County describes many of the programs as beginner-friendly and open to residents across the county, with a mix of in-person and online formats. Advance registration is required for most classes, so residents should use the official Extension Service calendar linked by the County to confirm the location, registration details, and availability for the session they want. Because several dates continue through Nov. 25, this item remains Active while the November program is underway.
