A riff on the standard blogroll, the RW&G Registry is designed to connect new and established gardeners with peers in their state. The registry’s central purpose? To facilitate the exchange of useful, region-specific gardening information at the grassroots level between gardeners of various skill levels.Want/need even more help/information? Check out the Links page re: Kitchen Gardeners International and FreedomGardeners.org. Also useful is this map by the American Horticultural Society identifying Master Gardeners by state.
Think your name should be added to the registry? Submit a comment below – with all the relevant details (see other entries for the correct formatting)–and we’ll add you in a few days or so.
