Polk County Master Gardeners Accomplishments
Polk County Housing Authority

The Polk County Housing Authority requested that the Master Gardeners improve the landscape around their main building--the location where we have our monthly meetings!

Mae Dean Hoover designed the beds, Sam Tobias created drawings to present to the PCMG membership, and it was decided to undertake this as a sanctioned project.

Some beds were simply cleaned up and the existing plants left in place; the star-shaped bed in front was reworked; still other beds were created from scratch.

Master Gardeners furnished the expertise and the labor; the Housing Authority purchased the soil amendments, gravel, and plants.
