Re: master gardener class ideas?

We do hypertufa every year, and we give demonstrations at every event held at the WTREC (formerly known as the UT Experiment Station). WTREC is the West Tennessee Research and Education Center. I wonder who ever decided to start using that long name. :o)

Cyndi,
We were going to do this at our Dec meeting but decided we needed to be outside or at least where we could make a bigger mess. One girl offered to let us come to her house next July to make them. She is getting all the supplies and telling us how much to pay her. I think she doesn't know what she is getting herself into. One time I was in charge of teaching everyone to make the hypertuffa pots. What a mess... but we all want to do it again.

Ooooh...stained glass stepping stones? That sounds interesting.

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.

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.
