The Kentucky Master Gardener Program is a program that trains volunteers to assist County Extension Agents with educational programming. There are multiple Master Gardener Volunteers across the state of Kentucky, but there were no active Master Gardeners in Powell County. After advertising the Master Gardener Program in the Powell County newspaper for a number of weeks, Linda Swango, a resident of Powell County entered the 12 week program. Linda Swango attended each class which was centered on multiple aspects of gardening such as soils and fertility, plant pathology, and entomology. After the end of the class, Linda Swango successfully completed the program and successfully brings the Master Gardener program to Powell County.
