Suffice it say that was a few years ago. My favorite gardening experiences have always been working with children. I wanted to pass on what I learned to future generations. Since my career choice was teaching, I was very fortunate to have several opportunities to garden with kids. This is my favorite thing to do. I joined the Master program to learn more about the world’s best hobby. I was not disappointed. There is always something new and exciting to learn from my fellow master gardeners. My strongest gardening talent is composting. I know that composting is the only way to maintain fertile soil for gardens while at the same time eliminating the use of fertilizer. Fertilizer kills microorganisms in the ground water and causes pollution in the soil. And it is expensive too. COMPOST IS FREE!!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1538799327405-PV0HFBB7MWAPVCDMVRJL/DPP_0404+%283%29.JPG Past Presidents - Bob Bransky Past President: January 2016 - December 2016 MG Class 2012, Advanced Master Gardener, Master Composter, Volunteer Coordinator for The City of Monroe Community Gardens.

His favorite pastime is teaching children about gardening. For the past several years he has conducted classes for second grade students teaching them about subjects ranging from vermi-composting to propagation. Here is a quote from his obituary: “Few accomplishments made him as proud as his Master Gardener certification, which he put to good use not only in his own backyard but in lectures, presentations, plant exchanges, community gardens, and online and newspaper columns. He collected his own rainwater, was a steward for butterflies, and gladly sacrificed mere grass wherever more space was needed for bee balm or green peppers.” January 30, 1945 - September 15, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1522861890676-NCT3WADUGU7J41FVCIV2/bruceforrest.jpg Past Presidents - Bruce Forrest Bruce completed the Master Gardener Course in 1999, and completed requirements for the Advanced Master Gardener Certification in 2000.

Greg completed the Master Gardener class in 2017, became an Advanced Master Gardener three months later, and joined the MGWWC Board right after that. He is also a Certified Smart Gardener, passed 500 volunteer hours within a year, 1000 volunteer hours in less than two years, 1500 hours in just over 2.5 years, and became President of MGWWC in 2019.

Suffice it say that was a few years ago. My favorite gardening experiences have always been working with children. I wanted to pass on what I learned to future generations. Since my career choice was teaching, I was very fortunate to have several opportunities to garden with kids. This is my favorite thing to do. I joined the Master program to learn more about the world’s best hobby. I was not disappointed. There is always something new and exciting to learn from my fellow master gardeners. My strongest gardening talent is composting. I know that composting is the only way to maintain fertile soil for gardens while at the same time eliminating the use of fertilizer. Fertilizer kills microorganisms in the ground water and causes pollution in the soil. And it is expensive too. COMPOST IS FREE!!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1538799327405-PV0HFBB7MWAPVCDMVRJL/DPP_0404+%283%29.JPG Past Presidents-May7-2023 - Bob Bransky Past President: January 2016 - December 2016 MG Class 2012, Advanced Master Gardener, Master Composter, Volunteer Coordinator for The City of Monroe Community Gardens.

His favorite pastime is teaching children about gardening. For the past several years he has conducted classes for second grade students teaching them about subjects ranging from vermi-composting to propagation. Here is a quote from his obituary: “Few accomplishments made him as proud as his Master Gardener certification, which he put to good use not only in his own backyard but in lectures, presentations, plant exchanges, community gardens, and online and newspaper columns. He collected his own rainwater, was a steward for butterflies, and gladly sacrificed mere grass wherever more space was needed for bee balm or green peppers.” January 30, 1945 - September 15, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1522861890676-NCT3WADUGU7J41FVCIV2/bruceforrest.jpg Past Presidents-May7-2023 - Bruce Forrest Bruce completed the Master Gardener Course in 1999, and completed requirements for the Advanced Master Gardener Certification in 2000.

Suffice it say that was a few years ago. My favorite gardening experiences have always been working with children. I wanted to pass on what I learned to future generations. Since my career choice was teaching, I was very fortunate to have several opportunities to garden with kids. This is my favorite thing to do. I joined the Master program to learn more about the world’s best hobby. I was not disappointed. There is always something new and exciting to learn from my fellow master gardeners. My strongest gardening talent is composting. I know that composting is the only way to maintain fertile soil for gardens while at the same time eliminating the use of fertilizer. Fertilizer kills microorganisms in the ground water and causes pollution in the soil. And it is expensive too. COMPOST IS FREE!!!! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1538799327405-PV0HFBB7MWAPVCDMVRJL/DPP_0404+%283%29.JPG Past Presidents (Copy) - Bob Bransky Past President: January 2016 - December 2016 MG Class 2012, Advanced Master Gardener, Master Composter, Volunteer Coordinator for The City of Monroe Community Gardens.

He collected his own rainwater, was a steward for butterflies, and gladly sacrificed mere grass wherever more space was needed for bee balm or green peppers.” January 30, 1945 - September 15, 2019 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5abe7321af20963b0317395f/1522861890676-NCT3WADUGU7J41FVCIV2/bruceforrest.jpg Past Presidents (Copy) - Bruce Forrest Bruce completed the Master Gardener Course in 1999, and completed requirements for the Advanced Master Gardener Certification in 2000.
