- Master Gardener Class 2013
For the 13th time, St. Tammany residents and novice gardeners have fulfilled the requirements to become Master Gardeners by participating in garden tours, show and tell, lectures, and a final exam.
The 12 weeks of training have covered topics such as weed control and disease and insect identification as well as presentations on botany, vegetables and ornamentals. All 30 trainees have committed to volunteering 40 hours of providing horticulture education to parish groups such as schools, garden clubs and libraries.
