 Master Gardener of the Month - Wanda Riley
1997 was a very good year for our Master Gardener’s. That is when Wanda Riley became a member, and although you may not see her or know that she is involved, Wanda is one of those “behind the scenes” people that make it possible for us to accomplish many of the projects that we do. She is an avid supporter of, and works hard in our Demonstration Garden, even designing the tri-fold we use for information purposes. Wanda develops and gives Power Point Presentations to educate our community, and has also taught many of us this, and other computer skills. She did all the prep work for our successful composting demonstration this week. Wanda is a Mentor this year and is always available to all of us to advise and help us get our jobs done. We appreciate all your time and efforts Wanda |
