We’ve posted congratulating our Intern graduating class on earning their official Master Gardener certification. Part of their requirement was to perform at least 50 hours of community service. In total, this year’s intern class volunteered just over 2,467 hours, which amounts to about $83,803.00 in labor (that’s absolutely AMAZING). We had several over-achievers, pictured below, that deserve a little extra recognition for volunteering over 100 hours, EACH!.

Help us wish Tallapoosa Master Gardener Intern, Katherine Denton, congratulations on graduating from intern to an official Master Gardener! She worked hard alongside interns from Elmore, Autauga, and Montgomery counties attending classes, hands-on labs, and helping with community service projects.
