 Become
a Master Gardner Is there anyone who has
contemplated becoming a Master Gardener? It is a great
volunteer program, not at all scary. You do NOT have to know
everything about the horticultural world or even all the Latin
(botanical) names.
What you DO do is go to a series of 10 all-day classes (one a
week) beginning January 23, on things horticultural and then
agree to volunteer in one or more of the Master Gardener projects.
If you have any questions, Jane Ellison, Anne Ginn, and Suzy
Hartford are all Master Gardeners and could answer questions.
(Also, Carolyn Batchellor and Nancy Stevenson from that other Garden
Club).
There is an information meeting on Wednesday, October 23 at the
Mayfeld Library on Wilson Mills at 7. It should last about an hour
and will have application forms. Or call Betty Killeen, Master
Gardener Coordinator.
