Master Gardener, Linda Sanford, recently received the honor of being the November recipient of the Leaping Frog Award.  This monthly award travels between Union County Master Gardeners who exemplify a Master Gardener volunteer.  Linda was chosen by October’s award recipient Marsha Kiss, for her dedication and involvement on a variety of projects to assist other Master Gardeners and the community. 

“Linda gives us opportunities to try old standbys and new varieties through her involvement with our plant trials, “ states Master Gardener Intern Marsha Kiss.  Linda is a pleasure to listen to and learn from.  She does a great job representing the Master Gardener Program with her demonstrations and talks.  The Union County Master Gardener Leaping Frog will remain with Linda throughout the holiday season.  As part of the responsibility of receiving this award Linda will be encouraged to have photos taken with the frog during its stay.  Then at the January meeting of the Master Gardeners, Linda Sanford will present the frog award to another deserving member.
