In Otero County we offer a Master Gardener class every other year in the Fall. We just had our first class on September 12, 2017 these classes will run through November. The classes start at 8:00 AM every Tuesday and their will be a different topic each week.Participants of the class will have a final exam at the end of the schedule and for those that pass they will become Master Gardeners.
Otero County Master Gardeners are an active group and give back to our communities through volunteer hours. They have projects around the county that they help maintain and they also provide helpful information on gardening to neighbors and the community. The Master Gardener Hot Line is used to help answer questions when I am not available. I also use their diverse knowledge as a resource to help me answer questions.
Master Gardeners meet monthly here at the Fair grounds and plan their projects and up coming events.
We have room for more students in this years class and if anyone is interested please contact the office at (575) 437-0231 before next Tuesday September 19, 2017.
Master Gardeners is a wonderful organization that provides fellowship and expertise in gardening. If you have any interest please cont me.
