A Master Gardener's Journal

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to share my gardening reflections, experiences and knowledge with you on this new web page. So sit back, relax and join me as I explore life in the garden from the perspective of a Master Gardener. A few of the important and timely topics I plan to discuss are environmentally responsible gardening, how to cope with hungry deer, Lymes disease (something all gardeners need to know about!), xeriscaping, native plants (they're so EASY), invasive plants (they're so BAD) and composting (the very best thing you can do for your soil and plants). And I'll keep you up to date on what Master Gardeners in Delaware County have to offer the home gardener. So stay tuned!

Wondering what Master Gardeners are all about? We've completed Penn State University’s Cooperative Extension horticulture training program for the purpose of serving our community. We're a non-profit organization of multi-talented volunteers who are dedicated to sharing our gardening skills and knowledge. We educate, inspire and encourage the home gardener through a variety of affordable classes, workshops, projects & activities. And we're passionate about helping you to become a successful gardener!
