The scheduled speaker, David Doggett, a Jefferson County Master Gardener and Aldridge Gardens tour guide, was regrettably sick and in the hospital. So he asked famed storyteller Dolores Hydock to fill in for him. And boy, were we entertained! She is an actress and storyteller and described as&nbsp;&#8220;Dolores talks with her hands. And her elbows. And her shoulders. When she speaks, she is literally irrepressible\u201d. She has&nbsp;&nbsp;won Resource awards from the&nbsp;Storytelling World Magazine for her eleven&nbsp;CDs of original stories. We thoroughly enjoyed her story today about her historic house and garden in Irondale close to the Whistle Stop Cafe. And about her friend in Mobile she had visited who had taught Western Civilization in school, had traveled a lot, had a gorgeous garden, collected beautiful art, and had an extensive collection of needlepoint she had done herself over many years. Thank you for a very entertaining morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another very important part of our meeting was Trisha Williams presenting one of our interns, Betsy Smith with her Master Gardener certification and badge.&nbsp;Out of our original 20 interns, 5 have received their Certificates and badges, and many more are very active and well on their way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"838\" height=\"1041\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298.jpeg\" alt=\"Dolores Hydock speakers with her hands, arms, shoulders!\" class=\"wp-image-18525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298.jpeg 838w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298-121x150.jpeg 121w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298-221x275.jpeg 221w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298-282x350.jpeg 282w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/18FEFE6C-D673-47D5-A55D-48CB5537F298-250x311.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"1146\" height=\"1254\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36.jpeg\" alt=\"Speaker with her speakers gift\" class=\"wp-image-18526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36.jpeg 1146w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36-137x150.jpeg 137w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36-251x275.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36-320x350.jpeg 320w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/3311D818-6C1F-4AB4-9E56-D3A628914F36-250x274.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1146px) 100vw, 1146px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"986\" height=\"941\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940.jpeg\" alt=\"Speaker at July meeting\" class=\"wp-image-18524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940.jpeg 986w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940-157x150.jpeg 157w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940-288x275.jpeg 288w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940-367x350.jpeg 367w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/A820AE0A-13BC-435B-A674-4EA424F0D940-250x239.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 986px) 100vw, 986px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img width=\"902\" height=\"990\" src=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A.jpeg\" alt=\"Intern BetsySmith receives MG certificate\" class=\"wp-image-18527\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A.jpeg 902w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A-137x150.jpeg 137w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A-251x275.jpeg 251w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A-319x350.jpeg 319w, https:\/\/mg.aces.edu\/chilton\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2019\/07\/D2E776B4-1CE9-4161-BA42-87F1EB60D69A-250x274.jpeg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our program today was a little out of the ordinary.
