These courses were begun in 1977. It was decided that 4 successive courses
in gardening would be given seasonally, with not more than 2 courses offered
within anyone year.

LGCF Gardening Study Courses Chairman is Carrie Martin
GARDEN STUDY SCHOOLS CONVENTION REPORT 2008
April.15, 2008
Debbie Corales, Carrie Martin Co- Chairs
Dorothy Delaune Treasurer, Registration Chair
Debbie Corales and Carrie Martin took on the task of School Chairman after
the LGCF State Convention in April 2007. We asked Dorothy Delaune to act
as the registration Chairman and Treasurer.
After accepting the roles as school Chairs and officer the above trio met
with Mary Jacobs and Ann Cooksey. The Bank account was transferred to the
new committee. At this date the balance is ___. A letter of the committee
changes was sent to the National Gardening Study Schools Chairmen.
Carrie Martin, Co-Chair typed all forms and saved them to a word file as they were not available to committee as a computer file. This move enables the committee to use the computer to obtain instructor credentials, Communicate with the National Chair quickly and cheaply.
By Summer board in 2007, Series 8, Course I was set for publication. The
Committee chose Baton Rouge Garden Center for the course March 5-6 2008.
At all State District meetings Garden Study School Registration and refresher
forms were available for distribution. 1000 forms were printed and passed
out in Louisiana Garden club functions.
Publicity on schools was sent to Baton Rouge Parishes, St Tammany Parish Extension Service for Master Gardeners, as they can use it for continuing education credits. The Daylily and Camellia Club were made aware of the school. District Directors were sent several notices between October and February.
With all the Publicity we still had only 5 registered for the school, and
of the paid students four were refreshing. With this being course I the
committee consulted with former Chairs and Gardening Council President,
Jo Anne Ryan as to whether to cancel the course. All were in agreement
to continue promoting the school and look at the possibility of moving
it to where we could find more students.
Sincerely,
Carrie Martin
