"The Call of Fall" will be the theme this year at the Master Gardeners booth located in the Horticulture building. Please stop and visit us, bring your gardening questions and register to win a door prize. The Renville County Master Gardeners will be there and the booth will feature many plants that work well in our fall gardens.

While attending the fair, take time to enjoy the gardens located throughout the fairgrounds. These gardens are maintained by the Master Gardeners, and many of the plants are labeled for easy identification. In addition this year, 4-H clubs have been asked to exhibit scarecrows that will be displayed in the gardens.

Master Gardeners are University of Minnesota trained volunteers whose job is to educate the public about a variety of horticulture subjects using readily available, up-to-date research-based information and a desire to share that knowledge with others. Core course training is conducted each winter and is available by taking an online training or in person.

If you are interested in becoming a Master Gardener, talk to us at our booth or contact the Renville County Extension Office at 320-523-3713. You can also go to our website for more information http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mgweb/renville/.
