Wood County Master Gardeners Volunteer Work

I've put in about seventy hours so far in master gardener projects - mostly at the nature preserve in Mineola and the arboretum in Quitman. The last couple weeks I've been helping with the construction of a greenhouse at the special ed building at QISD. I'm learning a lot. That's me on the ladder back there (the photo is from the newsletter). The section where the hoops are up is 30 feet long and in front of that will be a larger section, the "classroom" part, and it will be 20 feet long. When we finish this one, there will be another 100 ft greenhouse to build. Is was donated to the Wood County Master Gardeners and will be built at the arboretum in Quitman (behind the city park on the south side of downtown).
