Advanced Master Gardener Series
Author: Matthew Chadwick
Planning Unit: Calloway County CES
Major Program: Master Gardener
Plan of Work: 2022 Local Foods/Commercial Horticulture
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Following the success of our initial joint advanced master gardener training in the spring, “Calloway and Marshall County- Advanced Diagnostics Boot Camp”. We developed a short survey to gather detailed information on what classes that master gardeners would like to participate in, in the future. This was distributed to all MG programs throughout the region including the NWTN group that KY agents teach at annually. After reviewing the survey results, we put together a plan to start with in-depth-identification classes. The first of which was determined to be a Native Tree Identification class due to the time of the year. The class consisted of two days at the Calloway County Extension Campus doing some classroom work and field identification, and then a Saturday group Hike in LBL to put their learning o practice. The participants all indicated that they learned how to better identify native trees, and that they felt proficient in utilizing a dichotomous key.
