2013 Master Gardener Awards
Every year, Master Gardener volunteers are recognized at the Master Gardener Continued Training Conference. The success of the Master Gardener Volunteer Program would not be possible without the volunteers’ great contributions. We thank each of our volunteers and especially recognize those who go above and beyond in their volunteering capacity.
