This weekend I got a break from winter. As a Master Gardener I have to have 6 hours of continuing education each year.
I found an advertisement for a symposium. Iowa Arboretum was having a 5 and 1/2 hour symposium on plants and people. Ben took Connie and I up to Madrid because it is a 2hr drive. He found other things to keep him active till we were done.
One speaker spoke on entertaining in the garden. I wasn't very interested but Connie was. The second speaker was our Master Gardener Coordinator. She spoke on Edible Landscaping. Right up my alley!
The last speaker was from Kansas speaking about the food and medicinal uses of prairie plants. As a Master Gardener, when I am asked in that capasity I can't talk about the medicinal uses. So it was nice to hear someone talk about it!
As a reward for sitting for all those hours I bought me my first terrarium!
I still have to identify my plants lol, should have asked them! Duh!! I will send them an email!
So I only have to get another half hour for my certificate. Plus the 6 hrs of volunteering but that is easy with the garden maintance!
Then Sunday was our garden railroad club meeting. That was refreshing!
