Our Master Gardener Intern class on March 4 started with a visit from Renee Thompson, ACES Outreach Coordinator for the Harvest For Health program. She told us a little bit about the program and how she loves working with the people involved in it.

Our first speaker for the day was Shane Harris, Tallapoosa County Extension Coordinator, on Weed Science and Control.
After lunch, Dr. Arlie Powell, owner of Petals from the Past, Ph.D. in Agriculture, University of FL, and former Auburn Professor, taught Propagation. Both speakers kept your attention! We also had Master Gardeners Lamar Giles and Karen Mims there auditing the classes. It’s always good to refresh your memory!
