The fall is not quite here—the weather and calendar tell us so—but those eager to star digging into a new season for their plants and gardens are already in autumnal mode. If you’re itching to join them, two Cobb Master Gardeners information sessions in September in East Cobb can help you get started.
The venues are libraries: Next Tuesday, Sept. 11, from 11-noon at Sewell Mill (2051 Lower Roswell Road), and next Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 10:30-11:30 at Mountain View (3320 Sandy Plains Road).
It’s a volunteer group started in 1980 that’s always looking to add more to its ranks. In 2017 alone they volunteered more than 22,000 hours for projects that include community gardens in conjunction with school groups and those feeding the needy.
The sessions are free and will go over the process of becoming certified and trained to be a master gardener. But you’re asked to call the UGA Cobb Extension office at 770-528-4070 to register first.
