John Cooper, Denton County Extension Agent for Horticulture, spoke to the 2008 Master Gardener training class Wednesday, on “Growing Fruit and Nuts”. Cooper reviewed soil and site requirements, selection of plants, planting, pruning and care of fruit and nut varieties for the North Texas area.
The 2008 Master Gardener training began January 8 and will wind up its weekly meetings March 5.
President Richard Green reported that thirty Grayson County residents are enrolled in the class; upon completion, these interns will begin to provide volunteer service to the area by working in one or more of the Master Gardener garden projects, handing out home lawn and garden literature at local nurseries on Saturdays this spring, and/or manning the Garden Help line, 903 813 4204, in the Grayson County Extension Office at the Courthouse.
In addition the Grayson Master Gardeners will be hosting a plant sale on the Downtown Square in Sherman, Saturday, April 26 and a garden tour, Saturday, May 3.
