Master Gardener Interest Meeting Set
POMEROY, Ohio – There will be a meeting to gauge the interest of bringing back the Master Gardener program back to Meigs County.
Have you ever wanted more information about becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer? At one point, Meigs County had a Master Gardener Program. Volunteers helped educate others about plants. The meeting will be held January 14, at 1 p.m. in the Meigs County Extension Office. Those interested should RSVP Michelle Stumbo at [email protected]. Those interested but not able to attend the meeting or have suggestions for future agricultural topics that may interest the community are advised to let the Meigs County Extension Office know.
