FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE McCRACKEN COUNTY FLOWER SHOW Email Sally Wilkins Welcome to the Purchase Area Master Gardeners (PAMGA) website. We are gardening enthusiasts who have successfully completed the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service Master Gardener Program. Located in Western Kentucky, our members live in the 7th District which includes Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Graves, Lyon, Marshall, and McCracken Counties.
It's still cold but watch for the Hort Line that will be available at the beginning of the growing season. Throughout the growing season, call 270/554-9520 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. each Thursday to discuss questions about plants, bugs, weeds & seeds with a trained Master Gardener. The Hot Line coordinators, are armed with a telephone and a computer to research calls from the gardening public. The Hort Hot Line served the gardening public well last year and we plan to serve again during 2008.
Monthly Meetings are held on first Tuesdays of each month. PAMGA's next meeting is Tuesday, April 1, 2008 at the Extension Office.
