Support Indiana's Master Gardeners

The Master Gardener program, administered through Purdue Extension, is active throughout Indiana. The Master Gardener program is designed to help educate the public about gardening through the use of trained, certified volunteers. The program helps participants to grow by providing them with training in horticulture principles. They, in turn, agree to share their knowledge and help others grow.

The 2008 Annual Master Gardener Conference is in Indianapolis in September. To raise money to support this conference, the Master Gardeners of Marion County have created a 2008 calendar. This is a great deal! For $10 you get not only a calendar but monthly tips and gardening haiku. It’s great for gift giving or to start your own year out right.

You’ll find an order form at https://www.ces.purdue.edu/CES/Marion/MGStateConf/MG_calendar_order_Public.pdf. Order one (or two or three) today!
