Re: Iris in the Master Gardeners Program

[Maureen Mark <mmark@rogers.com>]

Hi Bob,
  
  There is a very successful program in Canada too.  The local  Masters Gardeners refer people to us regarding irises.  I have  been asked a number of times to become a Master Gardener, but don't  have the time -- maybe when I retire.
  
  Developing a structured program as part of the Masters Gardeners  courses is a great idea.  Sandy and I would be prepared to give  the program and encourage other other irisarians across Canada to do so  as well.

interested in hearing from anyone who can provide
information about their local Master Gardener Program.
I am certain that we can learn from their rapid growth
and that there is really no excuse for the decline in
AIS. 

If possible, I would like to develop interactions
between the Master Gardener program and AIS. I am
searching for information and impressions that any of
you who are master gardeners or have contact with them
can provide. Repeating what we have always done is a
recipe for failure. I would like to learn new ideas
that can benefit AIS. If you wish I will take phone
calls if you dont wish to respond within this forum.
My number is 636-677-8805.  Thanks Bob Pries, PR
chairman AIS.
