<p class=MsoNormal><b>Master Gardener Training</b> - The Engaged
University is hosting the Prince George's County Master Gardeners training, a
great community horticultural class open to the public. Learn all aspects
of gardening, from fruit tree pruning to soils to weed management, as well as
how to apply that knowledge to your community. The training is at the
Center for Educational Partnership, where the Master Peace Community Garden is
located, and is every Tuesday evening from March 4th to June 28th. Learn
as much as any University class, for a fraction of the cost. For more
information, including how to apply for the class, visit <a
href="http://mastergardener.umd.edu/local/Prince%20Georges/index.cfm">http://mastergardener.umd.edu/local/Prince%20Georges/index.cfm</a>
. Registration is limited to 25 people, and we are getting very close to
that number, so if this interests you act quickly.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Community Garden Meetings</b> - We have scheduled a
series of meetings to get your feedback about what you would like to see in the
garden. If you would like to help us plan or spread the word about these
meetings, let us know. We hope to use the information gathered at these
meetings to design the youth and family educational programs, the volunteer
programs, as well as our farmers market. All meetings will be held at the
Center for Educational Partnership (see address below). The
meeting times and dates are:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>Community Garden Plots </b>- We are about
ready to accept applications for this growing season's community garden plots.
Last year where we supplied the space, seeds, water, and tools that
neighborhood families used grow healthy fruits and vegetables for
their homes, but didn't have a set educational program that went along with the
community gardening. This year, we are developing a Saturday family
gardening educational program that will use these plots. In addition to
last year's program, this program is designed for neighbors to come together to
learn together about gardening and cooking. We are working to develop
this program, and as soon as we do, and get everything translated into Spanish,
we will be sending it out. <o:p></o:p></p>

on Saturday March 22nd, from 10 to 3PM, and prepare to have some fun in our
garden.<o:p></o:p></p>
