Greene County hosted the first "Meet, Greet and Learn" for the Master Gardeners of Subregion 7.  The state leadership set up subregions within the Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program, hoping to improve communication and cooperation between counties.  Subgregion 7 consists of the following counties:  Fayette, Pickaway, Clark, Madison, Ross and Greene.  The Greene County get together is the first in a series of get togethers outlined in an organizational meeting held in Fayette County in March 2008. 

Greene County Master Gardeners added to the landscape at the Greene County Fairground this week.  A tree was planted near the Extension Office and additional green plantings were designed and added to the flagpole area.

To celebrate Ohio Master Gardener Volunteer Week, Hamilton County Master Gardener Volunteers planted the master gardener garden at the Delhi Floral Paradise Gardens, Delhi Township on the morning of May 21.  These gardens are rather unsual because each is sponsored and planted by an area greenhouse or garden center.  Following lunch and delicious deserts served by the staff of the Delhi Township Park District, Tim Sisson from the Western Wildlife corridor gave a very interesting talk on the WWC and the importance of land conservation, land trust and native plants.
