Master Gardeners have come to Okeechobee County!
Our county Extension Service now has several active Master Gardeners. Thirteen local volunteers have completed their training program since the fall of 2003, and veteran Master Gardener, Judge Bill Hendry, continues to help our office. They are now available to answer your horticultural questions at our county Extension office.
Bring or call your questions
to our office (863-763-6469) on Tuesday afternoons, 1- 3 p.m.
