January 2021 Meeting

The 1st meeting/zoom meeting of the Headwaters Master Gardeners (HWMG) this year. Much to discuss in anticipation of a somewhat more normal year . Highlights included adoption of new bylaws and installation of new officers, report on the new 4-H student greenhouse in White County funded partially by a grant from HWMG, report on the ongoing work at the joint project at Victory Home, and 2021 plans for the Children’s Garden at the Clarkesville Library. Hopes remain high for a great 2021 gardening year.
