Cooperative Extension in York County

Master Gardener Class – March 6, 2018

Hello All,

Great class and discussion with David Handley yesterday. I was very impressed with the interest and enthusiasm of the class, especially considering he had finished 20 minutes early and everyone stayed to keep asking questions and contributing to the discussions.
