Our Master Gardener of 2019 went to the duo of Wally and Lee Walters, two very active MGs who rarely say no to any Master Gardener event.  The Demo Garden addition of reused monkey bars for growing climbing plants was selected as the Project of 2019.  Top hours volunteer was Sondra Henley (1155), second place  was Alice Broome (549.5) and third place was Pat Farmer (538). Top Continuing Education Hours were earned by Betsy Smith (100.7). Stars * for hours were presented and badge earners were  announced.  Helpline pins were awarded to Lyn Webb and Benita Cahalane for working 3 or more days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary Gray, Regional Commercial Horticulture Agent, presented a program on the easiest fruits we can grow as home gardeners. He discussed several varieties of fruits, their culture and pest problems. Some of the easiest fruits for home gardens are muscadines, blueberries, figs, apples, blackberries, and Japanese persimmons. Several unusual native fruits were discussed such as pawpaws, mulberries and passion fruit (Maypops). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Stars and Badges<\/strong><br>Bronze Star (100-299): Joan Barber, Clem Clapp, Cheryl Herbster, Ron Herbster, John Higginbotham, Sarah Justiss, Karen Mims <br>Silver Star (300-499): Debbie Housner, Betsy Smith<br>Gold Star (500-999): Lyn Webb, Elizabeth York<br>Gold Badge (1000-1999): Treasia Bennett, Susan Cleckler, Linda Hand, Jane Mason<br>Platinum Badge (2000-3999): Alice Broome, Jerry Farmer<br>Ruby Star (4000-5999): Audrey Giles<br>Diamond Star (8000-9999) Sondra Henley<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/video\/MNWyfXZ8kJTTl\">Click Here <\/a>for a slideshow of photos from the awards program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Chilton County Master Gardener February meeting is our Awards Meeting.
