Major Program: Master Gardener
This past fall another graduating class joined the ranks of nearly 100 other Master Gardeners in Nelson County. Eight participants completed the 12-week training that consisted of online, in-person, and applied fieldwork. The collaboration of the state offered programming and the helpfulness of local gardeners for the use of their gardens as labs created a unique opportunity to learn together in different ways.
