Margaret Goolsby \u2018s favorite thing about Chilton County Master Gardeners are the people, old and new members, and all the things she keeps learning from being involved with CCMGA.Margaret is a Jemison resident, and has lived in several states and Germany.\u00a0 She is married to Buddy Goolsby since 1974.

\nMargaret graduated and certified\u00a0 with the MG Program in 2006.\u00a0During her\u00a0\u00a0CCMGA Presidency in 2011-2012\u00a0 she wanted to see the\u00a0association grow and\u00a0become better known in the community.

As a 6 year old, Margaret learned \u00a0what vegetable gardening was about.\u00a0 She helped her mother in the family garden and as the family grew so did the garden.\u00a0 She feels most rewarded when she propagates something from a tiny stick to a thriving plant\/shrub. She prefers flowering plants that are easy and return year after year.
