Welcome! I'm excited to be able to share with you the world of gardening as a Master Gardener!

I began the Core Course for Master Gardener through the U of M, last January of this year 2011. In May I finished with the course and worked on my Internship and logged in over 60 hours of volunteer/community work and education. I am now officially a certified Master Gardener!

This has been an amazing year of study and learning. I look forward to serving the community in Aitkin County as a Master Gardener for many more years.

As I did during my internship, as a Master Gardener I will continue to offer presentations and workshops mainly in the area of my interest; Herbs and Native Wild Botanicals. Visit the link "Presentations" to the right to see what I have offered and what I plan to be offering in the near future.
