TEMG's have the opportunity to participate in educational training sessions that connect local Master Gardener associations across the state with each other. We will virtually tour demonstration plots, service projects, and even cross state lines and glimpse into other Extension Master Gardener programs from across the Nation. These sessions are offered every other month on the fourth Friday of that month at 10am. These sessions are open to certified TEMGs only, and will equip TEMGs with new ideas and connections!

MCMGs are honored to announce that Ms. Nicole McRae, of Jackson, TN, is the recipient of this year’s scholarship in the amount of $2,500. Nicole is a graduate of South Side High School. During her high school career, Nicole has excelled academically, taken part in numerous horticulture classes, held active leadership roles in South Side FFA, and maintained employment at Carter’s Nursery here in Jackson.
