October 2005 Unit Reports
AMHERST, CAMPBELL and LYNCHBURG (Hill City MGA) Al Thompson	The Perrymont Elementary School children spent time getting their hands dirty with the Hill City Master Gardeners (HCMG) recently by planting bulbs along the school’s Nature Trail. Two hundred bulbs, won from the National Gardener’s Association by HCMG, were planted by the kindergartners. The bulb planting is a continuation of the development of the Nature Trail that was a project started after winning a grant last year from Project Learning Tree. Up next for the children is the planting of native plants. Dave Close visited the HCMGA‘s General Meeting this month and spoke to the Master Gardeners. topics included Master Gardener College, MG volunteering, and a Q & A session. Dave was rewarded for his contribution with lunch at one of his favorite eating places.
