This month's newsletter includes a reminder to submit your VMS hours, a holiday video by Cecil County Master Gardeners, GreenScapes 2021 Symposium, and more!

Don't forget to catch up with previous continuing education webinars and resources. We will resume Continuing Education opportunities in 2021, so look out for more information on what we have planned!

As this is our last newsletter for 2020, we want you to know how appreciative we are of your patience and understanding as we all navigated through challenges this year. We are hoping that 2021 will bring more opportunities for volunteering and community outreach, whether that be virtual or in-person. We hope the holiday season brings a time for rest before we ring in the new year.

Please submit your 2020 Continuing Education and Volunteer Hours into VMS by Sunday, January 10th. This year has brought challenges we weren't expecting, but the most important value we hold for our Master Gardeners is your health and safety. We hope that many of you have enjoyed our Continuing Education webinars. If you have any concerns about your hours this year, please contact your local MG Coordinator.
