Q and A with the Experts
These are live Zoom webinars with our UW-Madison, Division of Extension specialists and experts, answering your plant and gardening questions within their area of expertise. We find that bringing in specialists enriches your educational experience. We suggest you complete the program module specific to the Q & A topic area before attending. If you cannot complete the program module, it is okay to still attend. You are able to submit questions ahead of time. Attendance is optional and the sessions will be recorded and posted in Canvas.
How to submit questions
Please use the following form to submit your question to be answered during the Q & A with the Experts. If you have multiple questions (about the same topic or different ones), please use a new form for each question. After you click submit on the form, you will be given the option to submit another form. All questions will be reviewed prior to the scheduled Q & A session and are subject to discretion by UW-Madison Extension staff.

Zoom Help
Zoom allows us to have a video conference meeting online. Zoom is hosted through the internet. Depending on the device you are using, you may also need to download the free Zoom app. No special equipment is necessary, but it is helpful to have headphones to plug in to your device. This makes the sound quality much better for listening. Before each Zoom webinar, you will be sent a link. When it is nearing the start time of the meeting or webinar, you click on the link to open up in your web browser to join the meeting. It’s very easy to use! And we are here to help!
