What Online Courses, Events, and Plant Diagnostic Services Are Available Through Aggie Horticulture?

Aggie Horticulture, the Texas A&M AgriLife horticulture site, lists several online courses, a set of events and workshops, and a group of diagnostic and testing resources for plant problems. The courses cover topics from school gardening to tomato growing, floral design certification, and greenhouse employee training; the events section includes workshops, seminars, and the Taste 360 Conference; and the diagnostic links point to insect questions, a plant disease diagnostic lab, soil testing, and tree resources. These are navigation entries on the site rather than a single service desk, so you reach each offering through its own link.

Online Courses

The site's Online Courses section lists the following programs:

The site does not publish prices, enrollment dates, or login requirements for these courses in the available material. Treat each course link as the place to confirm cost, schedule, and access conditions before planning around it.

Events, Workshops, and Seminars

The Events area is organized into three groups:

• Other Events — a general listing of events.
• Workshops & Seminars — hands-on and instructional sessions.
• Taste 360 Conference — a named conference listed alongside the workshops.

The site also displays a news feed of tweets from @Aggie_Hort, which can carry timely announcements. The available material does not give dates, locations, fees, or registration steps for specific events, so check the individual event listing for those details.

Plant Diagnostic and Testing Resources

The Useful Links section gathers the practical problem-solving entries:

• Insect Questions — for insect identification and related questions.
• Insects in the City — a separate insect-focused resource.
• Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab — for submitting plant disease problems.
• Soil Testing — for soil analysis.
• Tree Resources — for tree-related information.
• Water My Yard — a watering-related tool.

These are links to distinct services, not a single intake form. The site does not state sample submission procedures, turnaround times, or fees for the diagnostic lab or soil testing in the available material, so confirm those on the linked pages before sending samples.

How to Use the Site for These Services

1. Open the Aggie Horticulture home page.
2. Use the Online Courses block to browse course titles; select the course name to reach its page.
3. Use the Events block to choose between Other Events, Workshops & Seminars, and the Taste 360 Conference.
4. Use the Useful Links block for insect questions, the Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab, soil testing, tree resources, and Water My Yard.

Expected result: you land on the specific course, event, or service page, where the operational details (dates, fees, submission instructions) should be confirmed.

Common Stops

• The home page is a navigation hub; course and event details live on linked pages, not in the listing itself.
• The diagnostic lab and soil testing are separate services with their own instructions; do not assume one form covers both.
• The page displays a plugin notice about the slide show script; if featured content does not load, the linked sections below it still work as navigation.

Related Resources on the Same Site

If your interest is broader than courses and diagnostics, the site also organizes Fruit & Nut, Vegetable, Earth-Kind® Landscaping, Viticulture & Enology, Master Gardener, Junior Master Gardener®, Small Acreage, Ornamental Production, and Texas Superstar® sections, plus a Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab and Soil Testing under Useful Links. These are the places to go for fact sheets and program information that complement the courses and events above.
