Garden Talk Newsletter ~ for the Heartland Garden Enthusiast

GARDEN TALK! NEWSLETTER RECEIVES NATIONAL AWARD

This Garden Talk! newsletter that you read monthly is the 2007 national winner in the newsletter category for Communications in the National Association of County Agriculture Agents. The newsletter competed with newsletters submitted by county extension agents from across the nation. Vanessa Miller, Adair County Office Manager, and I work together to produce this newsletter. The newsletter is folded and put into envelopes by two Kirksville Master Gardeners. I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter as much as I enjoy writing it.
