Intern Class of 2024 Graduates

April 27, 2024 by Mary Ellen Holub

The Bluebonnet Master Gardener Association (BMGA) and the Washington County AgriLife Extension Service  is proud to announce the graduation of 20 Master Gardener Interns who completed the 2024 Master Gardener Training Class.  The intensive training classes began January 10, 2024, and continued every Wednesday through April 24th at the Washington County Event Center in Brenham, Texas.  Trainees from all four BMGA counties were eligible for the class. The training class will not be held again in Washington County until 2028.

After completing 60+ hours of intense instruction, classroom training, field trips and passing a final exam, the interns are required to complete 50 hours of gardening volunteer service within one-year to certify as a Master Gardener.  Such volunteer activities on BMGA projects are designed to assist Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service in educating the public about gardening. One of the 2024 interns, Ms. Jennifer Burnett, completed her 50-volunteer hour requirement prior to the class graduation date of April 23, 2024, so is now a certified Master Gardener.

Class Coordinator Al Prescott said that the 2024 class schedule incorporated “new field trips, new speakers and other new material not used before in BMGA training classes.”  Christy Schweikhardt added that changing the presenters and curriculum helps keep the program fresh and current.

Congratulations to the 2024 BMGA Master Gardener intern graduates:

Joe Bluemel, Donice Karl, Shawn Brightwell, Helen Luchak, Aubrey Brinkmeyer, Shari McCoy, Jennifer Burnett, Rebecca McDowell, Brenda Coston, Gloria Mifflin, Susan Finster, Sally Pitts, Kirby Gor, Rita Saulsbery, Jennifer Groleau, Ashlee Schaper, Heather Horton, Kelsey Wilson, John Jacobs and Christina Wise.

The 2024 Class Coordinators were BMGA Master Gardener volunteers Al Prescott, Christy Schweikhardt and Gary Scardino.  Washington County AgriLife Extension Agent Kara Matheney was the AgriLife sponsor of the class.  Class Coordinators were assisted by Master Gardener volunteers Beverly Anderson, Cathy Conway, Linda Jordan, Teresa Wilson, Kay Przyborski, Renee Urish, Lisa Nicklow and Cindy McAllister.

Intern Class of 2022 Graduates

May 10, 2022 by cmschweikhardt

By Faye Beery, 2022 Class Coordinator

On April 26, 2022, our new Bluebonnet Master Gardener intern class graduated with 33 interns.  One of them, Joe Jimenez, completed his 50 hours of volunteer work during the class period and is now a full fledged Master Gardener.  We also had the youngest intern that we have had, Webb Sherman, age 17.  The class had the largest ever enrollment with 40 students, but unfortunately, we lost 7 due to various reasons.

We kept statistics for our class to determine the knowledge gained during the classes. Our pretest average grade was 55 with 23 missed. Our final test (posttest) averaged 89. The highest score was 98, made by several people. We also gave them 2 bonus questions from a list of words given them weekly that corresponded with their chapter. With the bonus questions, the average score was a 95. With the bonus questions, the highest score was a 108.

Several of the students were new to the area, having recently brought property in one of our 4 counties. There were also 3 sets of couples who were new to the area.

All of them were eager for information and asked lots of questions. They enjoyed the speakers and kept some of them a little over time to ask more questions. They are going to be good master gardeners, a good source of information for our community, and good friends.

Thanks also to the helpers for the class. Nikki Griffin was invaluable handling all the food and drink for the classes, as was Marcella Ausmus, helping with the hospitality and grading papers.  Esther Hartman, Susan Yancey, and Leah Pierce helped to grade papers also. Thanks to all who came.

You Make a Life by What You Give

February 5, 2021 by cmschweikhardt

“The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.” — William Shakespeare

Texas Master Gardener Logo

Master Gardeners have a gift.  The purpose of our organization is to give that gift to others by teaching them about gardening.

What do Ernest Hemingway, Benjamin Franklin & Agatha Christie have in common?  They were all volunteers during hard times!  Hemingway was a volunteer ambulance driver for the Red Cross in Italy during World War I.  Benjamin Franklin was a member of a voluntary fire brigade in Philadelphia.  Agatha Christie was a volunteer nurse during World War I.

The year 2020 was full of hard times for so many in serious tragic ways.  Volunteerism overall dropped and many chartable and non-profit organizations struggled to carry out their non-profit and charitable purpose in 2020 and continue to struggle in 2021.  Some ask:  Can a little Master Gardener organization make a difference now, especially since our meetings are on online and so volunteers and members of the public must avoid gatherings?

The answer is yes! Master Gardeners can, and are, making a difference.  In 2020, scores of Americans, many who never put their hands in the dirt to plant a seed before, decided to try gardening to secure a healthier and reliable food source for their family.  Some, with “cabin fever” during stay-at-home order times, found gardening as a way to get outdoors and relieve anxiety.  Unfortunately, many of these gardens failed due to a lack of knowledge about the basics of soil preparation, the varieties to plant, how to irrigate, fertilization, pests, and other problems.  Many abandoned their pandemic Victory Garden, but others will stick with it.  Master Gardeners, even if for now volunteering online or in small groups outdoors, can assist these new gardeners and help turn them into passionate gardeners.

We can do this with sponsoring online education, plant and tree sales with planting and care advice, and planning for the future.  Planning for when we can work with kids in school gardens, operate our popular summer Kids Kamp and all get together again for other activities.  But these things, like plants in the garden, need tending now if we want them to grow and be beautiful in the future.

Charelen Koehler teaching class

Charlene volunteer teaching at Sealy High School

It is important to recognize volunteers for their selfless hard work.  However, volunteering is about more than logging hours worked, certificates of achievement or accolades.  As an example, Bluebonnet Master Gardener Association members Charlene and B.R. Koehler exemplify the true volunteer spirit.  In 2020, despite the pandemic and her own personal challenges, Charlene logged 350 volunteer hours for BMGA, and those are just the hours she took the time to enter into the system!  Charlene and B.R. also volunteer long hours with other organizations giving of themselves to their community in multiple ways. When asked why she and B.R. volunteer, Charlene said, “Volunteering is all about sharing one’s time and talents.  It is an opportunity to learn and work alongside like-minded people who share the same interests and goals.  B.R. and I believe in helping others, our community and ourselves by learning and passing on the knowledge to others.”  That is the true spirit and heart of a volunteer.

Without volunteers, many educational, health care and humanitarian needs would go unfulfilled.  Volunteers make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Did you know that altruistic volunteerism also provides important benefits to the volunteer?  Researchers know that volunteering benefits the volunteer by boosting the volunteer’s positive feeling, known as the “Helpers High.”  According to the Mayo Clinic website, research shows that volunteering offers health benefits, especially for older adults, such as:

  1. Volunteering decreases the risk of depression.
  2. Volunteering gives a sense of purpose and teaches valuable skills.
  3. Volunteering helps people stay physically and mentally active.
  4. Volunteering may reduce stress levels.
  5. Volunteering may help you live longer.
  6. Volunteering helps you meet others and develop new relationships.

According to Harvard Health Blog (citing Health Psychology of the American Psychological Association) psychologists “found that participants who volunteered with some regularity lived longer, but only if their intentions were truly altruistic. In other words, they had to be volunteering to help others—not to make themselves feel better.”

In 2021, Bluebonnet Master Gardeners can make a difference in their communities by volunteering and, perhaps, live longer and healthier for it.

“You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give.”
—Winston Churchill.

https://tfs.webex.com/tfs/onstage/g.php?MTID=e46376572ab72e9dea2d947c49b06c626

June 25, Thursday
2 p.m. – 3 p.m.

All About Trees: Forests – Living Pharmacies is bringing the science, the chemistry, the biology to the field of wild edible and herbal medicine. Dr. Mark Merriwether Vorderbruggen is a chemist, with an MS in medicinal chemistry and a Ph.D. in physical organic chemistry.

“An estimated 50,000 plant species are used medicinally. Within the plant kingdom, trees make a substantial contribution to this figure, and many species are used in traditional and modern medicine.”

“Medicine from trees, extracted from the wood, bark, roots, leaves, flowers, fruits, or seeds is fundamental to the well-being of millions of people. Where access to modern pharmaceuticals is limited, trees offer living pharmacies open to anyone with traditional knowledge on their medicinal properties.” (Global Tree Campaign)

Texas A&M Forest Service’s ALL ABOUT TREES has moved our live presentations to a web-based platform. This is in response to the important stay-at-home ordinances related to the outbreak of COVID-19.

Join us for this presentation series created to bring experts in forestry, arboriculture, chemistry, and science to answer your questions interactively through a dynamic CHAT feature.

Check with your local Texas Master Naturalist or Texas Master Gardener chapters for Advance Training AT credits. For CEUs from ISA, SAF, TNLA, and other organizational providers, a certificate of participation may be sent to you upon request for verification of attendance.

This class will be live on our WebEx platform allowing experts to answer your questions in real-time meeting state AT requirements.
