Message from the Interim Director of Extension
This week I visited the Maricopa County Master Gardener plant sale in Phoenix. It was good to hear that the sales were going great and everyone was enjoying themselves. Congratulations to the MG team in Maricopa and thank you to all the MG volunteers who helped make the plant sale such a great success. Also, I want to once again ask that everyone work to get our Needs Survey filled out so we can better understand the issues facing our stakeholders. We have about 1400 surveys completed, but we need much more. The link to the survey page is https://norton.arizona.edu/uace-needs-assessment-2022. Please continue to work with your stakeholders and get this survey filled out.
