Lawn & Garden Gardening is considered our nation's most popular pastime, yielding fresh fruits and vegetables for the dinner table, a cleaner environment and aesthetically pleasing landscapes. North Carolina Cooperative Extension helps gardeners learn more about new plants, native plants and environmental stewardship. Extension-trained Master Gardener volunteers are instrumental in these efforts, sharing their knowledge of plant selection, cultural practices and pest management with fellow gardeners, school students and others. Rutherford County is one of the 73 counties across North Carolina offering the Master Gardener Volunteer Program. Our trained Volunteer staff provide educational assistane to county residents concerning lawns, fruit & vegetable production, along with ornamentals and trees. Consumer Horticulture information is also provided through the following: WGMA radio Tuesdays at 11:45 a.m. WCAB radio Wednesdays at 11:15 a.m. For further information, contact Jan McGuinn-Agriculture Extension Agent at (828) 287-6011
