Classes included Ferns, Orchids, Roses, Hummingbirds, Landscape Design and Miniature Landscapes. We especially enjoyed Traditional Folk Herbalism, Seeds of the South (Heirloom Seeds) and Protecting our Pollinators. Some of our group also made \u00a0a Papercrete planter. This year the conference included a Seed Swap for the first time and we were able to select some seeds that were new to us. Of course no conference is complete without great vendors with lots of plants and unusual crafts.<br \/>\nArticle and photos by Trisha Williams<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-16476 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/img_0011\/'><img width=\"467\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011-467x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16488\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011-467x350.jpg 467w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011-367x275.jpg 367w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011-250x188.jpg 250w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0011.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16488'>\n\t\t\t\tCCMGA members enjoy 2017 Conference\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/amga-conference\/img_0014\/'><img width=\"263\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-263x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"CCMGA interns at 2017 Conference\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16482\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-263x350.jpg 263w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-113x150.jpg 113w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-206x275.jpg 206w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-250x333.jpg 250w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0014-e1494075705310.jpg 725w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16482'>\n\t\t\t\tFaye Collins, James Talley, &amp; Judy Cobb\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/amga-conference\/img_0013\/'><img width=\"467\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013-467x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"CCMGA members at 2017 Conference\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16481\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013-467x350.jpg 467w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013-367x275.jpg 367w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013-250x188.jpg 250w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0013.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16481'>\n\t\t\t\tPat, Faye, and Rick\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/amga-conference\/img_0012\/'><img width=\"467\" height=\"350\" src=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012-467x350.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-16480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012-467x350.jpg 467w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012-367x275.jpg 367w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012-250x188.jpg 250w, http:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2017\/05\/IMG_0012.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-16480'>\n\t\t\t\tSondra, Elizabeth, &amp; Harriett\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On May 1-3 several Chilton County Master Gardeners attended the Alabama Master Gardener Association Conference at the Huntsville Botanical Garden and the Jackson Center in Huntsville.
