UNADILLA — Do you have a question about growing a vegetable garden? Do you wish you knew the name of that pesky weed that keeps popping up in your flower bed? Do you wonder where you can find resources and information for your gardening project?  A Master Gardener Volunteer might be able to help you!

Join the Unadilla Rotary Club on February 26, 2025, at 6 p.m. for an informative program about the Otsego Master Gardener Volunteers. Carol Phelps, a lifelong gardener, and Master Gardener Volunteer, and Cornell Cooperative Extension Schoharie and Otsego Counties Horticulture and Natural Resources Educator, Marcie Foster, will present ways the Master Gardeners are doing garden-based education in the community, and tips and resources for your garden.

Master Gardener Volunteers and staff at Cornell Cooperative Extension Schoharie and Otsego Counties (CCESO) are trained to answer residents’ questions about home gardening, on topics such as soil testing, growing vegetables, plant selection, pruning fruit trees, common plant diseases, insect identification, lawn care, and more. Master Gardener Volunteers are residents who have completed a horticulture training course and passed a final exam to become certified. They provide unbiased, research-based information to help people grow healthy gardens and landscapes.

This program will be held at the William Bauer Community Center (formerly the Masonic Temple) at 246 Main Street, Unadilla, NY. This program is free and open to the public. Registration is not required.
