Fall 2009 Master Gardener Volunteers Program
The University of Maine Cooperative Extension is pleased to again offer its popular Master Gardener program in the fall of 2009. Participants in the Master Gardener program will receive thirteen 3-hour training sessions on gardening starting September 9th, 2009. After successful completion of the training program, each Master Gardener will volunteer 40 hours to a community gardening project such as: working with the Charlotte White Center to achieve their goal of living more sustainably by growing their own food, planting and maintaining public gardens, designing and creating a mobile display to be used at fairs and other public functions, or answering public calls and requests for gardening information.
The 2009 program will focus on ornamentals, flowers, shrubs, and trees. The fee includes a 500-page reference manual. The program will be held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm to 8:30pm beginning September 9th at the Charlotte White Center on the Bangor Road in Dover-Foxcroft. For more information or to request an application, please call the Piscataquis County Extension Office at 564-3301or 1-800-287-1491. Applications are due on September 1st, 2009.
