Board discusses gardening program funding; member to enroll in Master Gardener course
Summary
The board said gardening classes lack confirmed funding; member Francois said he registered for an agricultural-extension Master Gardener course (Feb–May 2026) and offered to provide services to the village after completing the program.
Board members reported no new funding for previously proposed gardening classes and said follow-up discussions are pending.
Francois said he contacted the agricultural extension office and registered for a Master Gardener training that runs from February to May 2026 in Davie, attending classes on Saturdays. "I did register for a February class to become a Master Gardener myself," he said, and offered to make services available to North Bay Village residents after completing the program.
Why it matters: the gardening program had been discussed previously as a community education offering; without funding it remains on hold, but a board member's planned training could increase in-house capacity to restart the effort.
