Bob Grafe is a Junior Master Gardener Specialist and will provide the fun training to adults (not just Master Gardeners) who have a sincere desire to complete the training and to act as adult leaders for new JMG groups in Guadalupe County during the 2009-2010 school year (September through May). Groups can be formed through schools, churches, 4-H, civic groups, neighborhood associations, etc.

The class will be limited to the first 10 adults to register. There is no fee for the class. Master Gardeners may earn up to five educational hours for class attendance. To register, contact Bob at email alaskagrafe@yahoo.com or his cell at 830-743-3399.

JMG- Kids: “Students learn about Plant Growth & Development,  become Wildlife Gardeners, or connect great books to the garden in a study of Literature in the Garden&;- and now there’s research that shows that this program increases science achievment. I love this program!
