What can 46 years of volunteering look like?

For MSU Extension Master Gardener Catherine Stedman of Alpena County, it looks like teaching others, growing fresh food, supporting native plants and wildlife, and helping strengthen her community.

Catherine recently received her 1,000-hour Gold Badge for her service as an MSU Extension Master Gardener volunteer. Today, she continues to share her knowledge through projects such as The Veggie Cart at the Alpena Senior Citizens Center, where she grows fresh vegetables and herbs for the center’s kitchen while helping others learn about growing their own food.

“I am aiming for 50 years of being an Extension Master Gardener," says Stedman. "I don't know if I will get there, but I am going to try!”
