Volunteer day at the Seaboard Jardin Maravilloso Community Garden
Two lovely Master Gardeners, Lynsey Bock and Linda Halsey headed off a great
community volunteer day at the Seaboard Jardin Maravilloso Community Garden in
Greenwood on January 7, 2012. To say it was well attended would be an understatement as they were
joined by four Palmetto Christian Academy students, the director of the La Puerta De
Esperanza ministry, along with a half a dozen master gardeners and a dozen
community volunteers who showed up on a warm, sunny winter January to design, dig
and plant hundreds of bulbs.

January 2011 Annual Graduation & Awards Banquet
A wonderful crowd of over 70 people attended the 2011 Annual Graduation and Awards Banquet
at the Greenwood Metropolitan District meeting room. We celebrated another good year for the
Master Gardener program, even though there were continuing changes
during 2010 for Clemson Extension. James Hodges, Clemsion Extension Agent, and Jimmy
McInville, LMG President, recognized the 2009 Class (getting full completion certificates) and
the most recent 2010 Class (interns pending volunteer hours completion). The 2010 Master Gardener of
the Year Award was presented to Nancy Collins (see Association News. She contributed hundreds of volunteer hours
to the now annual topiary project along with many other volunteers, making it the largest
and most beautiful yet.
James Hodges recognized Catherine Swindell with a Special Thank You for the 10 years she has been with us and serving as a Chairperson on many committees throughout the years. She was also recognized for the many hours she spent on the two recent functions- the Christmas dinner and the graduation dinner. THANK YOU Catherine!
