President's Letter - February 2025

Welcome to a new year with Montgomery County Master Gardeners! We look forward to connecting with one another (monthly meetings, board meetings, committee meetings and activities, MG events, plant swaps, June picnic and December holiday party), and the many fun opportunities to engage with Montgomery County residents in all things gardening.

On January 16, the MG board and committee chairs met to connect with old friends and make new acquaintances. We started to plan for the year ahead. So that you can stay up-to-date on MG activities throughout the year, we are creating a new online MG calendar of events which will be unveiled soon. (You can contact mcmgwebteam@gmail.com to request the addition of a meeting or event.) The Seed is changing its format from a labor-intensive magazine to an electronic newsletter format similar to the state MG newsletter. The new Seed will be much easier to view on digital devices. Committee chairs and program directors are also working to update their committee pages on our website.

Please keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities as we move into the growing season. You can reconnect with committees that you enjoyed working with in 2024, or branch out and try something completely new.

I look forward to serving with our board to support all of our MG programs.

Sincerely,

Linda
