Welcome
to the Hendricks County Master Gardeners! By
Colletta Kosiba, President
Welcome to the Hendricks County Master Gardeners web site! We are 90 enthusiastic
gardeners ready to teach the community about the latest in the garden. You
are welcome to attend our monthly meetings on the third Tuesday of every month
at 7 p.m. in the Danville Community Complex at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds.
We
start a new year full of opportunities to educate our community and plans for
new projects. This year, the main focus will be to have more master gardeners
"teaching others to grow" throughout the county. We will also create
gardens at the fairgrounds complex to give other gardeners the visual aid they
may need.
