As mentioned in my email, this week and next, please get acquainted with the Cornell Gardening website at:

www.gardening.cornell.edu This is our go-to source for research-based information, so it would be a good idea to check out all that is available there.  

 

Your MG training will begin on Thursday, September 6^th, and the first session will be held here at CCE Rockland. We will begin a bit later than usual, at 10m, so pack a bag lunch and bring a pen and notebook, or loose-leaf paper (if you ordered a manual /binder).  

The morning session will last ‘til about noon, then in the afternoon session you will be joined with the MGs for lunch & a monthly business meeting.

 

This is a great opportunity for you to meet the rest of the group and see what kinds of volunteer opportunities we’ll have for you when you graduate! If you requested a mentor, they should be there to meet you as well. You will also have an opportunity to set up any carpooling you’d like to so, when we start training at the Orange County CCE Office on September 13.

Enjoy your holiday weekend, and see you next week!
