Not Sure What Counts for Continuing Education?

  • Webinars (e.g. live events listed on Iowa MG Upcoming Events webpage, recordings of webinars) 
  • Videos from ISU Extension and Outreach (e.g. Iowa MG YouTube channel) 
  • Workshops (e.g. hands-on tree pruning event at local botanical garden) 
  • Guided garden tours (e.g. participate in a tour of a public garden led by a tour guide)
