Password: Apple

We are also planning on hosting a couple of field days for interested Colorado Master Gardeners. We will pass along that info as soon as we confirm we are able to do so. Unfortunately we will not have a hands-on opportunity for the public this year. We also pushed the workshop off by a week to allow us a bit more time to prepare the virtual workshop.
