GARDENING EXPERIENCE BEING SOUGHT

The SEMO Master Gardener program is looking for people who want to share their gardening expertise with others.

The group is holding three orientation sessions Aug. 29. The first will be at 10 a.m. at the Perry County Extension office in Perryville; Carolyn's Cafe near Patton will host the second meeting at 2 p.m.; and the last session will be at 6 p.m. in Jackson at the Cape Girardeau County Extension office.

The SEMO Master Gardener training program began last year. Volunteers provide gardening information to various groups. Last year members operated a booth at the Home and Garden Show.

The next 11-week Master Gardener training class begins in late September.
