Master Gardening Thing
I too, wonder what I can do with my Penn State Master Gardening credentials once we get there (our house is on the market now). The yard and gardening problems are quite different down there than they are up here, so I don't know if there is a lot of transferable knowledge. The Sumter County program involves 75 hours of training, an exam and a year of trainee status, if one can get into the program. I was kind of hoping that we (northern states Master Gardeners) could have our own club, enjoy each others' company and give whatever help we can to others as we learn the ins and outs of Florida gardening. I'll bet there are more Master Gardeners than you and me in, or coming to the Villages.
Nixon Smiley's book, Florida Gardening Month by Month, was very helpful to me when I lived in Florida years ago.
