In coordination with the University of Maryland Extension, Garrett College is sponsoring a one-session course, Introduction to Home Horticulture, at the Northern Outreach Center in Grantsville. Class will be held on Wednesday, February 18, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Ever wondered what the horticulture industry was all about? This introductory class will discuss and one will learn about the different sections of the horticulture industry, where our food comes from, and how there is more to horticulture than just home vegetable gardening. The course is being instructed by Ashley Bodkins who received her B.S. degree in Agronomy from West Virginia University and an A.A. degree in Horticulture from Potomac State College.
