On November 3rd, 2024, from 3 pm to 4 pm, Master Gardener volunteers from McKean and Potter counties had the wonderful opportunity to tour the Otto-Eldred High School Ag Program's greenhouse. Led by Ag Instructor Brandon Witmer, the tour highlighted the impressive efforts and skills of students involved in this unique program. The experience was enriched by two knowledgeable student guides, who expertly shared insights about the greenhouse projects and the program's goals. Their passion for horticulture was evident, and the visit provided valuable inspiration for future partnerships.

We're thrilled to announce upcoming collaborations with these talented students in the spring, as we work together on various gardening projects. A big thank you to Otto-Eldred High School for hosting us and to the students for their hard work and dedication! Volunteers interested in joining future events are encouraged to sign up.
