Go, See, Learn, Teach

Here's a start on the many upcoming Spring and Summer events for plant lovers. There are innumerable learning events and opportunities to 'network'.
Even better, there's a great many opportunities to teach or volunteer. There's a need somewhere for your skills, time, knowledge.

Most of the organizations sponsoring the following events also welcome your membership or volunteer time.
Also, to the best of my knowledge, all of these events are free, no charge, nada, the money stays in your pocket.

Community Food Summit May 7, 2011


Davidson County Master Gardeners will have several educational events this summer. The Master Gardeners exist to help the reach of the University of Tennessee's Extension service by providing horticultural knowledge and assistance to the community. You can become a Master Gardener by taking the 40 hour educational course offered in the winter and completing 40 hours of volunteer service your first year. Many beautiful food and flower gardens are maintained throughout Nashville by the efforts of the Master Gardeners.
