Escambia County Master Gardeners Assist Local Programs

July 10, 2017

The UF/IFAS Extension Escambia County Master Gardeners recently donated 435 plants totaling $2,175 to the local ARC Gateway Nursery Program. The Escambia County Master Gardener program is a volunteer-staffed, educational outreach of the Escambia County/University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service. The program, specializing in home horticulture, supports local community development through educational presentations, demonstrations and clinics.

This donation will help the ARC Gateway Nursery provide quality plants while reducing a portion of its overall expenses. Both organizations share a common element to their respective missions, to improve the quality of life for those that they serve. The ARC Gateway Nursery provides life skills and independence training to disabled adults.

For more information on the Master Gardener program, or to request information on arranging a speaking engagement or demonstration garden tour, contact the Extension Center Master Gardener office at 850-475-5230.
