Scott McLendon, Star Staff Writer<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A  new greenhouse was christened Monday morning at McClellan\u2019s Cane Creek  Community Gardens, thanks to fundraising efforts and a state grant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\n Sherron Pritchett Greenhouse is named after a Calhoun County Master \nGardener who died in 2016 at age 73. Her husband, Dick Pritchett, is the\n president of the county\u2019s Master Gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis\n place has come a long way in a short number of years,\u201d he said Monday \nat the dedication. \u201cI asked what it would cost to get this greenhouse \ngoing, and $35,000 later it\u2019s here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The  greenhouse sits at the Cane Creek Community Gardens on Justice Avenue  in Anniston, beside more than 20 raised flower beds on a 17-acre plot of  land. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More \nthan $35,000 was raised to fund the project \u2014 $20,000 raised by the \nCoosa Valley Resource Conservation and Development Council. Officials \nfrom the council attribute the $15,000 grant to state representatives \nK.L. Brown, R-Jacksonville and Del Marsh, R-Anniston. Brown delivered a \ngiant check for $15,000 to the Master Gardeners on Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re\n gonna do all we can do in our power to make sure these projects stay \nfunded,\u201d Brown said of his office. \u201cI\u2019m very pleased that this could be \ndone in the memory of Sherron. She was a beautiful person and left this \nlife way too soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown\n said he couldn\u2019t think of anything more fitting to honor Sherron \nPritchett than a greenhouse, and he can\u2019t wait to see how it evolves \nsince he comes from a family of gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy mother and grandmother had very green thumbs,\u201d he said. \u201cMy grandmother could take a leaf and grow a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\n greenhouse will be wonderful for the county Master Gardeners, according\n to Heidi Richards, executive director of the Coosa Valley Resource \nConservation and Development Council. She said the council receives \nstate money every year, but this grant helped allow them to complete \nthis special project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\n greenhouse will help build the skills of Calhoun County Master \nGardeners, according to David West, County Extension Office coordinator \nand representative on the Coosa Valley Conservation and Development \nCouncil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Master  Gardener is a designation given by the American Horticultural Society  to those who have completed extensive training and research in  gardening. Master Gardeners then go out in their communities and educate  others and work on various planting projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe go\n through our Master Gardener training out here,\u201d West said, \u201cwhich \nrequires 40 hours of training and they have to give back 50 hours of \nservice in their first year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\n said the new digs will allow the gardeners to grow plants regardless of\n season and help landscapers keep the entire community garden fresh and \ngreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a much nicer greenhouse than I planned on having here,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a good cooling system and watering system here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many\n of the greenhouse plants have been contracted by a grower, according to\n West, which means the questions of what to grow and whether it will \nsell have been answered already. He said the greenhouse will sell \nJapanese maples in a fundraiser to help with the cost of running the \nfacility. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen\n I walk in I get excited just looking at the plants and things we\u2019re \ngrowing,\u201d Pritchett said. \u201cHopefully we\u2019ll turn a profit real soon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/calhoun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/04\/AnnStar-workers-2-525x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-761\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/calhoun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/04\/AnnStar-workers-2-525x350.jpg 525w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/calhoun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/04\/AnnStar-workers-2-413x275.jpg 413w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/calhoun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/04\/AnnStar-workers-2-250x167.jpg 250w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/calhoun\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/32\/2019\/04\/AnnStar-workers-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption><em>Photo courtesy of The Anniston Star<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Anniston Star April 1, 2019 by: B.
