Become a certified Master Gardener, make a difference in the county

Submitted by admin1 on Mon, 12/09/2019 - 11:34

By Correne Martin

 

The weather will soon be more frigid and snow will blanket the ground, making winter the perfect time for indoor activities, personal education and gathering opportunities.

The Level 1 Master Gardener training offered through the Crawford County UW-Extension rolls all that into one 10-week course, from Feb. 4 through April 8.

“You’re not going to leave with a PhD in horticulture, but you’ll leave with research-based knowledge of how to find gardening answers and you’ll be excited about new ideas and volunteering around the county,” said Master Gardener and facilitator Donna Teynor.

Submitted by admin on Wed, 12/04/2019 - 12:02

Randy Ludvik (top) and Rich Stovey help to string up Christmas tree lights on a flag pole at the south end of Lawler Park Tuesday afternoon. Street Superintendent Dan Titlbach said the department is continuing its tradition of making everyone’s spirits brighter for the holiday season by putting up the lights. It is the first time a Christmas tree of lights has been put up at this location. The other tree of lights was put up recently in the middle of the Marquette Road and Blackhawk Avenue roundabout. “The Public Works Department would also like to thank Novey Construction for the use of their Skytrak lull,” said Titlbach, who noted there are 3,600 multi-colored lights on the new tree.
