Wow! A room full of 80 passionate gardeners! I'm pumped, yet slightly sobered by what I've taken on.
Yesterday, I attended the first in my series of eleven OSU Master Gardener classes. I've been looking forward to this for years, and it didn't disappoint: I took eleven pages of notes.
And just look at the vast binder of reading assignments provided.
They even gave us a snazzy zippered tote bag in Gardener Green to carry the notebook.
I love botanical nomenclature, but science is not my strong suite. So after sitting through the Botany for Gardeners unit, I began to realize this would be work - fascinating, of course, but definitely work. With class only once a week, I'll have time to read the chapters ahead, listen to the presenter, then review again after class. After all, I want to get the maximum value from this experience.
Time to hit the books!
