Class of 2018 Graduation
The Piney Hills Louisiana Master Gardeners celebrated their newest members on Thursday, August 16, 2018 at the First Methodist Church in Minden, Louisiana. This year’s annual Master Gardener Class had 17 students who underwent 40 hours of horticulture education over the course of 10 weeks this summer to qualify to graduate and become a Master Gardener. This class was the very first to be held during the evening in Webster Parish.
The 2018 Piney Hills Master Gardener Class graduates shown in the photo on the right are:

These graduates had an opportunity to learn about soils, botany, plant pathology, fruit and nut trees, vegetables, ornamental horticulture, entomology, and many other topics. These new graduates will join the ranks of other Piney Hills Master Gardeners who work tirelessly to promote horticulture and home gardening in Bienville, Bossier, Claiborne and Webster Parishes.
A catered meal was served and table decorations were provided by several Master Gardeners.
