New this year – Master Gardeners will be stationed in the new Master Gardener office in the Sandoval County Administration building (1500 Idalia Road, Building D, Room 1049 and lobby). The seed library catalogue is located outside the office. You will have access to the office for resources, the MG cell phone and desktop computer. Hotline volunteers take phone calls from the public from May through October (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday only) 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Sign up for a 3-hour shift to answer calls from the public regarding gardening questions, answer questions from walkins, and process plant samples if needed. Some research may be necessary to find correct answers to questions. Resources are available in the office and NMSU online publications. Lynda will also have some support tasks for you to complete, such as creating a resource binder with circulars and fact sheets based on common hotline questions. For more information contact Lynda at 977-9574.
