Madison County Master Gardener A

The Madison County Master Gardeners Association will hold its Indiana Garden School I in Anderson, Indiana on Saturday, March 24, 2012. It will be held at the Madison Park Church of God on 6607 Providence Drive (just south off of the I-69 and SR 109 exit (26), then 1 mile west of Menards). This is an excellent facility with plenty of room for our breakout sessions and is very accessible.

Our keynote speaker is the well known Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp. She has the Hoosier Gardener column in the Indianapolis star, is co-author of The Indiana Gardener’s Guide and founding editor and part owner of the Indiana Living Green magazine. We also have a great list of other speakers for the day. We are very fortunate to have them and you will not want to miss this first time event. To view info about the speakers, click here.

We are planning to have four breakout sessions, with each session having five different topics to choose from. Lectures, hands-on workshops and discussions will be held for gardeners with any level of skill, experience or ability. Topics on introductory gardening and techniques as well as learning opportunities for the more advanced gardener will be available. Along with a great program are a raffle, an auction and a variety of vendor displays and supplies from several of the top vendors.

You will have a chance to meet and informally visit with gardeners from across the state. Folder pickup starts at 8:00 A.M. (EST) with the program starting promptly at 9:00 A.M. and concluding at 3:30 P.M. Registration fee will be $30.00 per individual or $40.00 per family (lunch included). To guarantee a spot for yourself, your registration form must be received by March 16, 2012. Pre-registration is strongly advised.
