As we reflect, we see a dedicated group of garden educators who have provided generous committed service as OSU Master Gardener volunteers!\u00a0 Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and passion with the community and your fellow Master Gardeners.<\/p>\n

We look forward to a new year that will be full of fresh opportunities to educate and support our community in successful and sustainable gardening practices!<\/p>\n
