AMGA Attendees
Chilton County Master Gardeners who attended the 2013 AMGA Conference were: Standing, Audrey Giles, Trisha Williams, Margaret Goolsby, Pat Farmer, Sondra Henley, Wayne Freeman and kneeling, Joann Peacock and Chris Kirkland. Highlights from the conference were: The keynote speaker was James Farmer, a good ‘ole Georgia boy who grew up growing vegetables and cooking them southern style. It did not hurt that he is a graduate of Auburn. Each breakout session was interesting and educational. Some of us attended the Florence Garden Tour, where we found and love, Jerusalem Sage. Does anyone have some of this to share? As an extra, one of the garden home owner allowed those who were not able to tour her gardens during the weekend, to come Wednesday afternoon, after the conference. It was worth the extra drive time! We had great food and fellowship with each other and a long drive home.
