Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog. My posts will be mainly about gardening here in beautiful Spring Valley, Minnesota! After starting gardening here in 2008, I found that I was lacking knowledge in this topic. I decided to take the core horticulture course through the University of Minnesota in the late winter and spring of 2010. As a result of this class and continued volunteer work, I am now in my second year as a Master Gardener. I am still learning and probably will be for years to come. As I research and learn about gardening topics, I will post here. I hope you will find use for this information as I post. Please feel free to contact my with questions or post your comments. Enjoy!

Master Gardener Recruitment

For anyone interested in becoming a master gardener, now is the time to think about it!  The coordinator for Fillmore County just send out a notice regarding this.  If you are interested, the first thing to do is to apply with your county coordinator.  Once approved locally, you will be ready to go through the University of Minnesota's course online or at a class in Winona this spring.  For further information, go to the University's master gardener website at www.mg.umn.edu.  For any of you outside of Minnesota, most states have a master gardener program through an extension agency.  If you live in Fillmore or Houston counties, you may also contact Jerrold Tessmer, Extension Educator, at tesme001@umn.edu.
