Each winter a group of strangerscome together in a class of novice gar-deners hoping to become MasterGardeners. Anew dimen-sion has beenadded to thisyear's class, oneof outreachinto the com-munity. Thisyear's class voted to work on the "SecretGarden" at Ocean Trail convalescentCenter in Southport.

The purpose of the project will be toenhance the Ocean Trail facility andcreate awareness of Extension's partner-ship with the greater BrunswickCommunity. Some residents whoreside in Ocean Trail are not ambulato-ry and therefore spend most of the dayin their suites looking out onto the"secret garden". Currently it is not

al. Ocean TrailConvalescent Centeroffers opportunities toenhance the quality oflife for its residents andthe Master Gardenerclass would like toextend this out into the

"secret garden". The project proposalincludes clearing the existing area,planting shrubs, perennials and annu-als that thrive in our climate. The classmembers hope to improve the land-

scape to provide visual interest yearround.

The classreceived dona-tions from Danaand Karen Rifein the amountof $100, SilverC o a s tP r o p e r t i e s ,Darren Bouley

in the amount of $40.00, East CoastMoving, LLC, Carrie Partello donated$150.00, Healing Therapies ofBrunswick County donated $50.00and Virginia & Roger Riedley in theamount of $100.00.
