Presented by Master Gardener Alyssa Ford Morel

Ever wonder what Extension Master Gardeners (EMGs) know that you don’t? In this talk, you’ll learn some of what EMGs have learned either through training or hard experience. Expect a mix of affirmation of tried and true techniques, myth busting, and ideas worth exploring. EMG Alyssa Ford Morel has gathered helpful tidbits from her colleagues with the Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia and compiled them in this light-hearted celebration of getting things done in the garden.
