Master Gardener classes begin

A new Master Gardener class will be starting on Aug. 18. All people interested in becoming Master Gardeners should contact Ann Delchambre soon so she can set aside a place in the class.

The purpose of the Purdue Master Gardener Program is to teach people more about growing plants and to more effectively extend information related to plants.

To be part of the next series of Master Gardener classes, contact the Putnam County Extension Office and say that you are interested in the Master Gardener Class. You will have to complete an application form and return it to the Putnam County Extension Office.

The classes meet every Tuesday night from 6 to 9 p.m. The sessions will last 12 weeks from Aug. 18 to Nov 3. The cost is $75. Family rates apply. Applications will be taken until Aug. 14.

Anyone with questions or who would like more information, should contact Delchambre at 653-8411 or adelchambre@purdue.edu, Facebook Putnam County Agriculture and Twitter AgAgent.
