On Friday, May 23, University of Tennessee Extension held a
recognition night to honor several Fayette County Master Gardeners. Twelve Master Gardeners graduated from their internship
and received a certificate as well as their green Master Gardener name badge. The badges are earned after an intern attends
fourteen weeks of gardening classes and completes forty hours of volunteer
service.

five Master Gardeners to acknowledge their continued years of service to their communities
through the Master Gardener program.

Master Gardeners received the gold leaf pin award for completing 100 hours of
volunteer service with the Master Gardener program for the 2013 year. Everyone enjoyed dinner at the Oak Room and
the commencement address given by Dr. Christopher Cooper, the State Master Gardener
Coordinator. The eighth annual training class for Master Gardener interns will
be starting in August. If you are
