Re: master gardener class ideas?

Those sound great. I hope you have electricity, too. We are expecting lots of rain all weekend -- from 2 to 7 inches in my area.

Tricia - native plants and organic fertilizers would probably be good
topics. I think more people would do it right if they knew more about it. 
I educate people at work all the time.  They really just don't know.

Many people in our area seem to have problems with pruning...knowing when 
to prune and what.

Another idea might be about water issues...how to construct rain
gardens...how to save water but keep your plants going. What to plant in 
dry areas?  When to plant to make sure roots get established.

Since the cooking shows continue to be popular, what about something on
"eating your plants"...covering veggies and herbs in your area and flowers to add to spring and summer dishes. You could follow up with dealing with 
things that eat your plants before you do.
