Hello Master Gardeners,

I'm happy to announce that Elizabeth Bruhns, our Master Gardener Program Organizer, and Julie Perteet, our office secretary, are returning to their duties today, Monday, June 9.

We all owe a special thank you to Nancy Kreith, who has kept the Chicago Master Gardener program running for the past two months. She has done an outstanding job.

Master Gardeners, thank you for your lobbying efforts, support and patience. We ask some further patience. It will take us some time to get all caught up. Keep gardening and reporting those volunteer hours.
