Dig in with the Master Gardeners

Wel­come to the Gazette’s new gar­den col­umn. Instead of one writer, we have 12 con­trib­u­tors who will all write columns in their respec­tive areas of exper­tise. Also, we would love to hear from you — if there is a topic you feel we need to cover, let us know by call­ing the Exten­sion Office at 740–833-2030. This inter­ac­tive approach allows the voice and per­spec­tive of the col­umn to change. With so many dif­fer­ent moti­va­tions for the mod­ern gar­dener, we hope to encom­pass all of our read­ers’ inter­ests. On our panel of con­trib­u­tors we have herb enthu­si­asts, long time veg­etable grow­ers, gourmet cooks, florists and a lawn care spe­cial­ist among other very tal­ented individuals.
