Master Gardener Volunteer Program Open House, Information Session
August 8, 2016
The UF/IFAS Escambia County Extension Office invites residents to the Master Gardner Volunteer Program Open House and Information Session Tuesday, Aug. 16 at 9 a.m. at UF/IFAS Escambia County Extension, 3740 Stefani Road in Cantonment. Attendees can learn about training sessions, volunteer activities, and the role of Master Gardeners in the community. Applications will be available for the 2016-17 Fall/Winter Master Gardener training program.
The Master Gardener Program provides gardeners with intensive education in home horticultural principles. Participants who complete the program are certified as Master Gardeners by the Florida Extension Service. Once certified, the Master Gardener can provide volunteer leadership and service to their community in gardening activities. Working with the UF/IFAS Escambia County Extension, they can have the opportunity to participate in organized volunteer activities like answering gardening questions, conducting plant clinics, beautifying the community, and other activities designed to increase the availability of horticultural information and improve the quality of horticultural projects.

We moved from Dale City, Virginia to Pace, Florida on March 2015 and found it harder to grow in sandy soil. Maybe I can learn more about gardening in hot, humid and sandy-soil Florida.
