What is the OGIA / OSU Diagnostic Walkabout?
Professional Training: The Walkabout is for Green Industry professionals (arborists, landscapers, turf managers, nursery managers, etc.). Thanks to the Ohio Green Industry Association (OGIA), a wide range of professional credits and CEUs are available.
Comprehensive: Participants will look at plants, plant pests, plant diseases, landscape designs, and other points of interest. Discussions focus on plant problem diagnostics, plant health management, plant selection, and sustainable landscape designs.
