Woo Hoo! I turned in my big project yesterday and got to get my grade today - passed with flying colors! Eight and a half months of hunting down and identifying specimens, pressing and drying and gluing, researching, photographing and typing up a big binder of 28 native plants and trees...DONE! No more nights past midnight working on it, no more weekends where I am at my desk instead of family time. I did it! I worked so hard on that binder, and I am really proud of it. Now I have a nice reference and souvenir of the experience. Now I only have two more months until I take my final and I am a certified Master Gardener! I have really enjoyed the process and learned so much!

Awww...thank you girls! It's weird to have so much evening time without staying up late working on that project and to be told I did so well by the head teacher is such a relief!
Sara, the way they told us, there are different Master Gardener classes throughout the US. Connecticut supposedly is the most difficult, with the most comprehensive course being the one I enrolled in through University of Connecticut. They like to say that our offices "set the standard". While it was a heavy task, we learned so much, so I am happy and blessed to have gotten in. I may actually try to become an Advanced Master Gardener. Not sure yet, but I know it is more flexible than what I have just completed.
Thanks so much for all of your support and cheers. I love you all, my dear farmsisters!

Well done, Nicole, so proud of you for putting in the time, effort and getting it done. I knew there was a work involved with being a Master Gardener but I didn't realize just how much.
