Happy Master Gardener Day!

Happy Master Gardener Day! I have a seedstarting tray for each of you. Please come by and pick one up! Bernard King from Timber Ridge Girls Scout Camp donated enough for each of you to have one and some for our school programs. He donated some to surrounding County MG programs as well. He asks nothing in return, but wanted you all to have for your work, but if you start vegetable seeds in them, we would love to have your extras for the office demonstation vegetable garden.

UPDATE ON OUTDOOR WATERING!!!! Restrictions have changed, so take a look for more information. Paulding is more similar to the State Level 4 restrictions, but there are still some variations in our exemptions.

Our office has been assigned some help through community service and currently we have someone working outdoors on chores around the building. The vegetable and herb gardens have been tilled and weeding is being done. On the list to be done: general cleaning up, removal of the weedy mulch pile on the side of the building, etc. If you have requests for chores that need to be done around the Extension office grounds, please send them to me ASAP.

Don't forget that next Thursday, March 20th, is the Get Watersmart! Lunch and Learn. If you plan to attend please email Dara or call the office to reserve your spot (if you haven't done so already).

Upcoming Opportunities

Susan Breen is still looking for Advisory Board members to help coordinate the Dallas Farmer's Market. If you are interested you can contact Susan directly or let me know and I'll get her your contact information.

Interested in helping plan a "Natural Resources Festival" for a 4th and 5th graders? Contact Mary Carol to learn more!

Vegetable Garden Assistance-Betty is on the mend, but she will need some folks to plant the vegetable garden. "Safe to plant" date is April 15th-Pay your taxes, then plant your tomatoes! Who will organize the planting date/planting activities? Do you need assistance in the form of community service?
