Dear Potential Master Gardener:
We at the Rutherford County Extension Service are excited to announce that we are taking applications for the 2010 Master Gardener Program. We would also like to thank you for being patient and allowing us to put you on our waiting list.
The training will cost $100.00 per person. The cost will cover a Tennessee Master Gardener Handbook, refreshments for 15 sessions. After an initial $100.00 payment, additional family members (assuming they will not want another handbook) may attend for $60.00 each. The fee(s) paid are non-refundable.
The training will cover a variety of topics related to horticulture. These include basic garden botany, fruits, herbaceous and woody ornamentals, turf and houseplants. Identification and control of insects, disease and weeds is heavily emphasized. Specialized instruction dealing with soil, lawn and garden equipment, backyard wildlife management, household pests, landscaping, herbs, organic gardening and composting are also included.
All training sessions will be held at the Lane Agri-Park located at 315 John R. Rice Blvd. Suite 101 in Murfreesboro. Classes will be taught once a week beginning on Tuesday January 12, 2010, from 9:00AM intil 12:00PM, and will run for 15 weeks.
