MONROE - The Green County Master Gardeners will be holding its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Green County Justice Center, 2841 6th St., Monroe.
The presenter will be Amy Freidig, program assistant, Wisconsin Master Gardeners Program, on the topic "Plant Pigmentation: Where Beauty Meets Science."
The program will cover five common plant pigments that are in the garden and a range of topics from what red lobster shells have in common with many garden plants to the relationship between plant pigments and human health.
Freidig is a Madison native, has masters' degrees in horticulture and plant breeding and has recently completed a professional certification in online education. She is employed part-time with the Wisconsin Master Gardeners program, where she is responsible for developing interactive educational materials, assisting with outreach programs and helping to start a therapeutic horticulture program in conjunction with an area health care facility.
The Green County Master Gardeners Association meets on the fourth Thursday of the month from February through October.
Anyone interested in horticulture and gardening is welcome to join the association; one does not have to be a Master Gardener to be a member.
