<p><strong>CHAMPAIGN</strong> – Have a passion for peonies? An interest in insects? Are you a budding botanist? Consider becoming a Master Gardener. University of Illinois Extension serving Champaign County is hosting Master Gardener training in January 2016. University of Illinois Extension sponsors the Master Gardener program and trains adult volunteers to help disseminate up-to-date, research-based horticulture information to home gardeners. Master Gardeners are passionate people who embrace the state motto “helping others learn to grow.”</p>
<p>To learn more about the program, attend a panel discussion on Tuesday, October 20. Refreshments will be available beginning at 6:15 p.m. at the Champaign Extension Office, 801 North Country Fair Drive, in Champaign. At 6:30 a panel of Master Gardeners will give testimonies of their involvement in the program. The panel will discuss their process in joining the program, including overcoming initial hesitations; what they experienced during training; and how they have been involved since. The panel will also accept questions.</p>
<p>Following the panel discussion, Don White, Emeritus Professor of Plant Pathology, will present Environmental Damage Affecting Trees and Outdoor Landscapes at 7 p.m. Dr. White will address several major causes of tree loss, including environmental and disease-based conditions, which many times work simultaneously to kill trees. Following his presentation, Dr. White will open the floor for questions.</p>
<p>The entire evening is free and open to the public, but registration is required. To reserve your place, please call the Champaign County Extension office at 217.333.7672 or visit the website: <a style="color: #4276aa;" href="http://web.extension.illinois.edu/cfiv/"><span style="color: #4276aa;">http://web.extension.illinois.edu/cfiv/</span></a>.</p>
