I've Been Accepted into the Master Gardener Program - Ask Me Anything!

[Red State Rebel]

I'm so excited!! I applied for the program and was chosen. They had 44 applicants and took 25. I will begin training in January thru the Missouri Botanical Gardens and University of Missouri St. Louis and will be certified Master Gardener at the end of the program in May.

1. Congratulations!

I am in total awe! My success with plant life has been chancy, the poor things have to reach out a tendril and trip somebody with a glass of water to get any! Good luck with the program!

4. You're going to love it!!!

I just finished the Iowa Master Gardener Program in October. Can hardly wait until spring when I can do some serious gardening, plus get all of my volunteer hours in. At least I have the gardening catalogs to look forward to in a couple of months, plus I keep buying new gardening books to read.:hi:

2. I love the Missouri Botanic Gardens. Congratulations!!!

What's your favorite kind of garden?

3. I do a lot of perennial gardening and shade gardening

We have 2 acres with a lot of large trees so I have learned to work with everything for shade imaginable. I also have a cottage border garden around my front yard with a picket fence surrounding it. We also have some water gardens - a water fall and goldfish pond, etc.

5. Can we really ask you questions?

I'm getting ready to plant a small fig tree and some thornless blackberry plants tomorrow. Any special instructions?
