Pasco County Extension Calendar of Events

NOTE:  For Saturday Gardening Seminars reasonable accommodations made with advance notice, please. Pre-registration is not required but helps with planning, so please call to reserve your seat.  Also, we are implementing a software that will allow you to pre-register on line.  When you see the large orange sign with the wording "CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP," you will be pre-registering for that program when you click to open up the program.  It will tell you how many people the room can hold, how many vacancies are left, and there a a few easy questions we have asked you to answer to help us in reports.    This method of pre-registering will not be for every event shown on our calendar, only where you see the orange sign.  We hope that you will try this new program for pre-registering where possible and that you will find it to be easier for you as well as for us. 

(352) 521-4288; (727) 847-8177; (813) 996-7341, Ext. 4288
