SUBJECT: Master Gardener Rainwater Specialist Training
Texas AgriLIFE Extension Service of Austin, Colorado, Fayette, and Washington Counties in conjunction with the Bluebonnet Master Gardener Association are offering a Master Gardener Rainwater Specialist Training in Washington County on July 19th and 20th, 2012. The training will take place at the W. J. “Bill” Rankin Agricultural Complex at Blinn College, 1409 Old Mill Creek Road, Brenham, Texas.
Every trainee will make a rain barrel to take home for their own use, or to use as a demonstration. Each trainee will receive a shirt, PowerPoint Presentations, and other materials to help them install rainwater harvesting system demonstrations in their counties and teach others about rainwater harvesting. Be sure to dress appropriately for outdoor activities. In this informational packet you will find the registration form, a tentative agenda, listing of lodging in the Brenham area, and a map with directions to the Blinn College Campus.
Only 30 participant spots are available for this training, so please submit your registration forms as soon as possible. Registration is on a first come/first serve basis. Payment and registration forms must arrive at the Colorado County Extension Office by June 15, 2012. Registrants will be notified of their acceptance via email by June 20, 2012. The last day to cancel registration without forfeiting registration money will be July 2, 2012; any cancelation notice must be received via email: bmgavolunteer@gmail.com. Please contact Kara Matheney at (979) 732-2082 or by email kjmatheney@ag.tamu.edu to answer any questions or provide further information.
Once the course is complete, Master Gardener Rainwater Harvesting Specialists will be able to set up a rainwater harvesting demonstration and trainings in their counties for other Master Gardeners and for the public.
We are excited to be able to host such a great learning opportunity and look forward to seeing you there!
