“Iowa Master Gardener” is an educational and volunteer service program of the Iowa State University (ISU) College of Agriculture and ISU Extension. Through the Iowa
Master Gardener program, interested volunteers receive advanced training in horticulture and environmental topics of special value to the home gardener. In exchange for this training, Master Gardeners share their time and knowledge on approved projects within their communities. Through the leadership, instruction, and hands-on assistance provided by Master Gardeners, the broad resources of Iowa State
University are extended to benefit Iowans at the local level and enhance the quality of life in Iowa communities.
The Iowa State University Extension Service is a partnership between ISU (located in Ames) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This partnership cooperates with local governments and citizens.
Completing the 2008 course were
Gary Moffatt-Harpers Ferry, Robert Hankey-Elkader, Glenna Whitford-Volga, Carolyn Clefisch-Guttenberg, Mary Bries-Elkader, Doris Hoeger-Guttenberg, Carol Crandall-Volga, and Ruth Ann Kneer-McGregor.
Congratulations to the eight Master Gardeners from Clayton County who recently completed the program.
