VegHeadz at the Annual MG Year End and Awards Gathering

 

 Produce fresh from the VegHeadz garden

This week many of the VegHeadz attended the annual year-end and award meeting at the Leon County Extension.  On hand were volunteers and presentations for most of the projects that the master gardeners undertake throughout the year. As usual the VegHeadz had an attention-grabbing display and lots of information and giveaways.  

One of the main attractions for the annual meeting is the award of certificates to individuals who have just completed the recent master gardening class. Over the course of the next year, they will provide volunteer hours to complete their training and become full fledged Master Gardeners at the next year end  meeting. We hope that many of them will join us in the VegHeadz garden.

Emma provided information and bags to 
gather seeds and produce for those in 
attendance to take home.

Many types of greens we grow and 
a less familiar vegetable, Yacon tubers, 
for folks to try.
