The history, purpose, qualifications and contributions of Canada’s Master Gardeners are showcased in a Toronto Star feature by gardening expert Mark Cullen and son Ben Cullen, a member of Guelph-Wellington Master Gardeners.
The article, Master Gardeners are in a class of their own, published Nov. 11, describes how MGs “contribute much to the gardening community at large, elevating both our appreciation and knowledge of horticulture over the years.”
The Cullens write:
“Master Gardeners are dedicated to the art and science of gardening. And, with their generosity of knowledge and time — on public garden tours, at local horticulture societies, at small shows and big ones such as Canada Blooms and in various online forums — they help sustain a broader community of Canadian gardeners.”
Many thanks to Mark and Ben for spreading the word about Canada’s Master Gardeners!
