Upcoming Events

  • Dec 30 Beginner to Expert: Learn About the Top 10 Reptiles and Amphibians as Pets This is your chance to get up close and personal with some of nature’s most fascinating cold blooded creatures. In this lively, in-person workshop, you’ll meet different species of reptiles and amphibians — from beginner level companions to the more challenging exotics — with insights on their unique needs, personalities, and habitats. You will also have the rare opportunity to touch and interact with a few under supervision. Let guest speaker, Keelin Klein, UGA student and herpetology enthusiast, provide a deeper understanding of these neat animals, practical care tips, and maybe even introduce you to a new favorite scaly or slippery friend. This program qualifies for Master Gardener continuing education credit.
