The Marshall Master Gardener Association has worked diligently to bring quality research based information to the people of Marshall County. In an effort to meet this goal, the gardener's present a gardening series at the local library yearly. The programs teach clientele about timely gardening topics. The gardeners hope the clientele will use the information they learned successfully in their home gardens. Pictured: Master Gardener, Johnnie Davis presenting information on Herbs
at the Library Series. In response to this great programming effort, many residents have verbalized their gratitude for these programs and one participant even sent Nikki Bell, Marshall County ANR Agent, a letter stating, "My mom wanted me to pass along her thanks for the session on grapes you guys did at the beginning of the summer. Not only did our vines actually produce this year, they were gorgeous and made the best jelly!" (Photo Below)

After a successful first year, more local Library branches requested to have the Master Gardeners present the series at their branches too! This will enable the Gardeners and ultimately the Extension Office, to potentially reach new clientele that reside in other towns in the county.

This program is yet another example of how the Master Gardener Classes and Master Gardener Volunteer Program have been an exceeding beneficial program for Marshall County.
