July 15th-  All Day event with enough credits for Landscape Contractors who have waited until the last minute.  However, each class is stand alone so if you only need one hour  of Technical credit or two hours of business credit you can sign up for those and just come for a portion of the day.  These classes are all offered in Brevard NC at the Transylvania County Board of Elections!

Parting Comments


Most of you are probably aware that I am retiring at the end of July so this will be my last newsletter as a NC Cooperative Extension Agent.  It has been an interesting twenty five years and I hope to see some of you in my years as an Agent Emeritus.  My plans are to stay active in the Green Industry in a variety of ways including teaching a few classes as a private consulting educator.
