Congratulations to the graduates of the 2013 Master Gardener training program! Nineteen graduates completed over 50 hours of training and passed their final exam. They joined 11 Master Gardeners returning from the Class of 2012. They'll be performing volunteer service throughout Trinity County by providing technical assistance and educational outreach in a variety of venues.
Look for our upcoming booths at the Weaverville Farmers Market and Trinity County Fair.
In September 2013, the Master Gardeners will be sponsoring a series of workshops on School Gardens. The 3 evening classes will cover Garden Infrastructure (design elements, irrigation and soils), Garden Planting (how to accommodate seasonality in the school year, perennial plants, seed starting and transplanting techniques), and School Garden Networks (available curriculum, funding, Master Gardener services, and local coordination). Dates and locations TBD.
