To all - Just a reminder that there will be no Master Gardener meetings during the months of January or February. We will, however, be contacting folks about the upcoming Garden and Art Fair in April. Linda Casey will be the Chairperson this year. Please contact her if you are willing to work on the Fair. She can be reached at 633-6145 or by e-mail at farkydoodle@shelbywireless.net.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and I send my warmest wishes for a healthy, joyful and prosperous New Year.
My best, Carolyn

Master Gardening December Meeting
Tuesday night the Shelby County Master Gardeners met for a lively celebration of garden friendship. We started the evening out with great food and conversation .
We were all asked to bring fresh greenery for wreaths and Brett identified each sprig for us.
It was a great learning adventure. From this collection of nature ,Linda Casey used her talents to make us all a swag to take home.
As you can well imagine, this lead to lively camaraderie .
But in the end, all of us were very thrilled with our gifts and enjoyed the friendship.
A good time was had by all!
Merry Christmas and Have a Great New Year!
