Master Gardener Banquet--Thanks Class of 2010

Our Beloved Principal, Jerry

Kathy, the best Secretary

Dori the Assistant Principal

Truant Officer Susie

 We had an awesome time at our banquet.  We got to talk to all our favorite Master Gardeners, eat some yummy food with our Honey Baked Ham, and put on a free show for all those who attended. 

Free, Cheap Entertainment

Another Studio 5 Appearance

If you missed seeing Jerry, which I know everyone does--check him out on Studio 5 talking about Unusual Conifers.  You can even come to the gardens and see these trees and possibly Jerry for yourself!

Master Gardener Banquet

 Mark your calendars for the Master Gardener Graduation Banquet on Tuesday, November 9th.  It will be great time to reminisce about the year, spend time with friends, eat some great food, and enjoy us making fools of ourselves.  What's not to miss?  Hope to see everyone there even if you aren't graduating.  Call Kathy (801) 399-8201 to choose a potluck item to bring.  It will be the best time ever!

In case you forgot about last year's entertainment.

Thanks for a Great Year

We will be closing up the building tomorrow for the winter.   There were probably many tears shed after reading that, but don't worry--we'll open up again on March 1st.  I'll continue to post on the blog and we'll still be answering your horticulture phone calls during the winter.
We were able to get all our flower beds ready for their winter slumber thanks to the great help from our Master Gardeners yesterday.  We had another awesome work day at the gardens and were able to pull all the annual flowers out and till the soil for next year's plantings.

THANKS MASTER GARDENERS FOR A GREAT YEAR AT THE GARDENS!  We had such a wonderful year with so many accomplishments!  We couldn't have done a fraction of it without you. 

Hope to see you all at the Master Gardener Graduation on November 9th.  Call Kathy to sign up for the potluck.  Come for the great dinner and a free show!
