By Emily Gossett
Silver City High School Intern for the Beat

On Wednesday, December 4, Eduardo Servin gave a seminar on a master gardening course that might be implemented in Silver City. Servin is the manager of the master gardener program at New Mexico State University. This seminar consisted of explaining what exactly a master gardener is and how the participants of the course could implement these skills into their community. The class encompasses everything from grasses to water irrigation. It will be an eight- to twelve-week course starting in the fall of 2020. Specialists of their field would come down to Silver City every week and host three- to five-hour classes. The classes will be held through the Grant County extension office and will cost a little over one hundred dollars to attend.
