Ready, Set, Grow program with the master gardeners came to visit with first grade this week and last week. The first graders reviewed information about plants and they go to plant a seed to bring home. We have a bunch of little gardeners here at GFE and maybe some of them will become master gardeners like our presenters when they grow up.
