Season 1 Episode 24: Conversation with Erin Kinley, Penn State Master Gardener

Keeping It Green

So how did a Nebraska farm girl, raised on an animal/row crop operation, become interested in horticulture? And what brought her to the East Coast? Tune in as Erin Kinley talks about her path from the farm to the coordinator of Penn State’s Master Gardener program in Eastern Pennsylvania. Plus, she’ll talk about the training and educational efforts of the 4,000-plus Master Gardener volunteer base. And what is the difference between a garden club and Master Gardener?
