Carolyn was an active Master Gardener since she completed her training in 2015. She was one of two Master Gardeners responsible for starting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WillametteCommunityGardens\/\">Willamette Community Garden<\/a> in Albany, Oregon. She devoted many hours to the garden, instructing gardeners while all the while maintaining the garden. Every year she helped to plan, organize, promote, and grow the majority of plants for a plant sale that supports the garden. As part of the garden plan, a bed was located outside the fenced area so that people walking the nearby path (mainly homeless persons) can access fresh fruits and vegetables. Carolyn served as a Member at Large on the Linn County Master Gardeners Board and was part of the planning committee for BEEvent Pollinator Conference. She was recognized as Linn County Master Gardener of the Year in 2018. Carolyn, you will be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Master Gardeners &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/padlet.com\/recordseatwork\/CarolynL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">share your memories of Carolyn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Bookmark our page: <strong><em>Find newsletter archives, volunteer handbook and more volunteer opportunities at https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/activebentonlinnmg\/<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Shoutouts<\/strong><ul><li><strong>Sun 6\/12\/22 10:00am- 11:30am &#8211; Water quality and your garden + Urban Garden Row tours + social<\/strong> in Corvallis at Oak Creek Center for Urban Horticulture.
