Another interesting conference sponsored by Master Gardeners in Greensboro, NC, scheduled for September 23, 2010, 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Speakers include Tracy Traer, Cindy Shapton, Dr. Barbara Fair, Dr. Will Hooker, Sandra J.Sandefur, and the chefs from Green Valley Grill, Printworks Bistro, and Lucky 32.

If you want to find out what to do with your bumper summer crops, the chefs' breakout will be great, but you have to be in the first 50 to request that session. I have dropped out of Master Gardeners, and hate to cook, so I will attend but NOT request the culinary part.

If you are interested, contact Kaye Arnold, 336-873-7579; or, crittercreekfarm@yahoo.com. She is the registrar this year. She can send you a registration form via email. Cost is $35, which includes lunch. There are vendors, too.

Location at the Extension Building limits them to 200, so contact Kaye if you are planning to come.
