Sustainable Solutions
If you haven't heard... Tennessee Master Gardener Winter School is in
Murfreesboro February 17*, 18-20! Registration Deadline February 9, 2010!
The TMG Advocates have planned an excellent conference focusing on
sustainable solutions to enhance your volunteer leadership skills. These are
solutions for you as a gardener, vital supporter of Extension and community
leader.
We are so fortunate to have the volunteer support and coordination from the
Rutherford Master Gardeners and Extension office. Their hospitality and
welcoming spirit has already made this event so unique from any other Winter
School we have planned.
It is also my pleasure to announce Dr. Tim Cross, Dean of UT Extension and
Lieutenant Governor Ron Ramsey will be joining us to recognize MG volunteers
for their community service achievements.
The Tennessee Yards and Neighborhoods program is offering a free
pre-conference workshop (with a free dinner) for all those MG interested in
assisting the state develop MG role in this community water quality program.
The TYN's program focus is on 9 principals to conserve and protect water in
the landscape- What a perfect fit for MGs! For more information about TYN
