Grass Roots program wins Search for Excellence Award
On October 14, 2011 nineteen Search for Excellence Awards were presented at the International Master Gardener Conference in Charleston West Virginia. Search for Excellence is the recognition program of Master Gardener volunteer work throughout the United States and Canada. The Chesterfield County Master Gardener program was awarded second place in the innovative projects category for their Grass Roots program.
Awards are presented every two years at the international conference where volunteers gather to learn from each other and share project strategies with their peers from across the country. Nineteen Master Gardener programs were recognized for outstanding achievement in programming from a field of over 100 applicants.
Winning projects were chosen on the basis of their originality and creativity; practicality of the program; simplicity of replication by other Master Gardeners and their significant impact on their communities.
The Chesterfield County Master Gardener program will be recognized by the county's Board of Supervisors on November 9th.
