The LSU AgCenter’s mission of research, extension and teaching is why we provide these resources to the community and beyond. We will continue to offer free high quality courses that help participants apply the knowledge they gain in their own gardening endeavors. We want nothing to impede anyone from becoming better and more successful gardeners. Please consider a donation to support these online courses and the LSU AgCenter outreach programs.

Thank you to those who have already donated gifts to support our efforts and we appreciate any gift to help us further our efforts. Once again, we hope you enjoy the Home Certificate Composting Course and find it valuable. We look forward to seeing you again in upcoming courses.

DonatepngThank you!
