Master Gardeners
Master Gardener Program
The Master Gardener Program was created by Extension to meet the enormous increase in requests from home gardeners for horticultural information. In exchange for the training Master Gardeners receive, they are required to volunteer for the Extension Service in approved horticultural programming. For more information about becoming a Master Gardener please contact Bonnie Sigmon, Laurel County Extension Agent for Horticulture, at 606-864-4167.
Upcoming Events:
- November 10, 2009 – 10:00 a.m. The decorating committee for the Holiday Cooking School will meet at the Extension Office to prepare decorations for the event. If you would like to help with the decorations but cannot attend the meeting on November 10, you are welcome to join us on Thursday morning, November 12, at 8:30 a.m. at the Laurel-London Optimist Club to help put the decorations in place. We can also use any pine cones, nuts, greenery, berries, or other decorative items that you can donate. Remember, the theme of this year’s event is “Going Green for the Holidays.”
- November 23, 2009 – 6:00 p.m. There will be a planning meeting and pot luck dinner at the Laurel County Extension Office. We will be discussing workshops and events that the Master Gardeners will host in the upcoming year. Jot down a few program ideas and bring them to share with the group. . .along with your favorite covered dish!
- December 17, 2009 – 6:00 p.m. The Master Gardener holiday celebration is sure to be a hit! Since we have so many talented cooks in our group, we have decided that the dinner will be pot luck. Join us at the Extension Office for an evening of good food, great fellowship, and plenty of fun. Those who wish to participate in the gift exchange should bring a garden-themed gift valued at $15.
