UME Master Gardeners are at the State Fair again this year! MGs will be serving as garden docents and staffing a tent next to the UME Master Gardener Learning Garden, a collaboration between Baltimore City and Baltimore County MGs. This is open to all MGs regardless of County/City of certification! Volunteers can sign up for up to 2 shifts (only 1 shift can be a weekend). Please sign up by August 15.
New Water-Wise Training in Garrett County
Water-Wise is a conservation landscape certification program that is NEW and exclusive to Garrett County. The program is modeled after the University of Maryland Extension’s Bay-Wise Program, but tailored specifically for Garrett County with the help of University of Maryland Extension, Garrett County Government, and Maryland Department of Natural Resources.
