Re: Master Gardeners

In the Boston area, the MG program has been taken over by the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, I believe because the extension service could no
longer support it financially.  Because of the financial problems, only
those professionally involved in the Green industry are supposed to contact
the extension service.  A homeowner who has a question for the extension
service is supposed to go through a professional to get the answer. I don¹t
know how rigidly this is adhered to.
