Master Gardener training classes will be held Wednesdays, from 9:00am to 2:30pm with a half hour for lunch. Classes start February 9th and end April 13th. Residents of Union, Towns and Fannin counties are eligible to participate. To apply you will need to complete an application and return with a check for $145.00 by December 15th to: Maggie Oliver, P.O. Box 414, Hiawassee, GA 30546. Your check should be made payable to TUMGA (Towns Union Master Gardener Association). Applications will be reviewed and interviews conducted the week of January 5 through January 12, 2011.
