Welcome to the Coconino County Master Gardeners Association

The Coconino Master Gardener Association began in 2009 to create a corps of well-informed volunteers, and to deliver quality horticultural education programs adapted to our regional high elevation environment. The association provides support for Master Gardener graduates and volunteers as well as continuing education and opportunities to participate in community programs that increase the visibility and participation in the Master Gardener Program.

Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday from 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church

Well Water Workshop

Master Gardeners: We are offering a free well-water workshop on Saturday, Dec. 9 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm at 2625 N. King St. I've attached a flyer with more information. This is a down-to-earth seminar to help well users learn how wells work and function, and how to keep your water safe for use and drinking. Don’t think that this seminar will be too “technical” for you. This is a seminar where science is explained in simple terms (and you can ask questions!).

Please help spread the word and RSVP to Brandie Gobble at (928)773-6110 or bgobble@email.arizona.edu if you plan to attend.

Regards,
Hattie
