BECOME A MASTER GARDENER

USU class helps all types of gardeners develop their green thumbs

Photo by
“IF YOU’RE IN EASTERN UTAH, YOU HAVE TO BE SOME OF THE BEST GARDENERS ON THE PLANET.”

That’s what Steven Price tells students in the Master Gardener course offered through Utah State University Extension. Price is an assistant professor at the Carbon County USU Extension and one of the instructors for the course.

“We have difficult soils, difficult climate, your irrigation has to be on point,” Price says. But, with the right approach, it is possible for gardens to flourish in the region.

Last year was the first that Grand County’s USU Extension offered the Master Gardener course and staff are preparing to put it on again this winter. Thirty-six people from Grand County registered last year, joining a total of 118 students from all over eastern Utah.

The Master Gardener program started in Washington state in 1972. Dr. Dave Gibby, an Ogden native and graduate of USU, was working at Washington State University when he developed the program with the goal of training a group of informed volunteers who could help spread agricultural and horticultural knowledge in their communities. Now all 50 states have Master Gardener programs, and there are also courses in other countries.

USU started offering Master Gardener courses in the 1980s, but it wasn’t offered in all counties. Now, Grand County residents can sign up through USU Extension to join the eastern Utah course, which is delivered over Zoom and includes several eastern counties. The sessions are two hours long on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from January 14 through February 27. Students who complete the session can earn a Master Gardener certificate by also completing 40 hours of volunteer service in the field of agriculture or natural resources.

GETTING STARTED IN GRAND COUNTY

The course book is broken into 18 topics, starting with a basic introduction to plants and moving on through soil, fertilizer, watering, pests and diseases, and different kinds of plants and trees. Grand County USU Extension Agriculture and Natural Resources Agent Cory Farnsworth will be teaching the section on weed management and possibly a section on fruit trees.

Farnsworth is a Moab native and comes from a family of farmers and gardeners. They used to be well-known for locally growing and selling apples, especially the Honeycrisp variety. They also grew a long list of other produce, including potatoes, carrots, corn, squash, green beans, dry beans, onions, peppers, peas and tomatoes. Farnsworth took the Master Gardener course himself, for credit, when he was studying agriculture and natural resources in college.

“When I took the class it was very helpful to me, very eye-opening,” he says. He went on to work in range management for the Manti-La Sal National Forest before joining USU in 2023. One of his tasks when he was hired was to establish the Master Gardener course in Grand County.

“I think, across the state, people are interested in trying to grow food to be more self-sustainable,” Farnsworth says, and USU Extension wants to meet that interest.

“The class was a beautiful way to connect with the community and learn.”

A big part of his job now is helping the community answer questions or troubleshoot problems in the field of agriculture and natural resources.

“I had a guy call me the other day saying he caught an opossum in his yard,” Farnsworth offers as an example. Opossums are not native to Utah, so he coordinated with the Division of Wildlife Services to determine whether there is an invasive population or if it was a single animal that was inadvertently transported.

That was an unusual incident. The question he hears most often, Farnsworth says, is “Why are my trees dying?” Most of the time his answer, after taking a look, is that the trees need more water.

In the busy seasons of spring and late summer, Farnsworth says he might visit four or five properties around the county every day in the workweek, helping to diagnose issues. The Master Gardener course can help spread information and knowledge throughout the county so that more people can answer their own questions, or help their neighbor identify a pest or suggest diagnostics for poor soil, for example.

The class can help dispel mistaken beliefs, and also direct people to resources, like factsheets and local data available through USU, as well as offering the home visits that Farnsworth can make to assess problems at a property.

“This is a resource that a lot of people don’t realize they have,” Farnsworth says.

Extension agents from each county help teach different topics, and some sections will be covered by specialists from the Logan USU campus. There are also some hands-on workshops: at least one winter workshop on pruning, one in February on soil health, and likely more offered in the spring and summer.

Price will be teaching entomology and integrated pest management for this winter’s Master Gardener course for eastern Utah. He has always been interested in insects, and got his master’s degree in entomology about seven years ago and has been working in the field since.

“A lot of folks, even other county ag faculty, often call me to consult on pest management issues when they need a hand,” he says. “It is my specialty and I enjoy doing it.”

Price points out that information in the Master Gardener course that’s tailored to the region is especially helpful. Even for the same pests, management approaches may differ by region, depending on things like the pest’s lifecycle, the planting season, or in some large scale agriculture cases, regional resistance to pesticides.

“It is important to get some locally relevant knowledge on some of these things,” Price says.

The course may also be particularly valuable for people new to the area.

“We’re getting a lot of people moving in to Utah that are figuring out pretty quick that the way they manage their lawns and gardens and things back home, if they’re moving from southern California or Nebraska or wherever, they might need to adjust,” Price says. “What they do back home might not work.”

TAKING THE CLASS

Stephen Schultz has been gardening for decades in La Sal. He grows a substantial portion of the food his household consumes, growing crops on about 4 acres and raising chickens and dairy goats. He took the Master Gardener course last year, and plans to take it again this year. Schultz isn’t the only person to take the course more than once; Price says he has students who have taken the course every year for around a dozen years.

“They say they learn something new every time,” he reports.

“Even if you know a lot of this stuff, there’s always going to be information you can glean,” Schultz says—especially in a place where farming and gardening are difficult.

“Utah is this amazingly beautiful place. It draws people from all over the world because there’s nothing like it out there,” Schultz says. “But it’s not the easiest place to grow things.”

He points to the “big, overbearing problem” of water scarcity, the soils that are poor in organic matter, and elevation changes and microclimates that mean the same plants grow differently even in locations not far from each other. At 7,000 feet in elevation, Schultz’s garden definitely has different requirements than gardens in the Moab valley.

Even with all his gardening experience, Schultz was attracted to the Master Gardener course because it offered face time with “some of the most knowledgeable people on agriculture in our part of the world” who can give insight on growing things specifically in Southeast Utah. Schultz also appreciates the resources available through USU, such as soil analysis, fertilizer recommendations, information on plant types, growing zones, and watering schedules. Other students in the class, too, can share their successes and failures, and brainstorm solutions together.

Anna Bouchard also took the course last year. She’s the kitchen manager at Moab’s Easy Bee Farm, and while she had “hobby gardened” before, she has learned a lot through her role at Easy Bee. She hadn’t lived in the

Moab area long when she signed up for the class, and she enjoyed meeting other people interested in gardening.

“For me it was a beautiful way to connect with the community, learn a little more about the community,” she says.

Schultz also appreciated the camaraderie of the cohort. In an area with limited agriculture, “Getting a group of people together who are passionate about it is great,” he says.

Both Bouchard and Schultz agree that the course is offered at the perfect time of year.

“It was a great activity to leave the house after it got dark at 4 p.m.,” Bouchard says. She watched a few sessions from her laptop at home, but often went to the USU campus to watch the sessions with other local students.

“It’s kind of the doldrums, the darkest days of winter,” Schultz

says. “That’s when every gardener starts dreaming of plants.”

Bouchard says she would consider taking the course again if there were a “level two.”

“From my experience, in its first year, was a great intro,” Bouchard says. “I think there’s possibility for it being on a deeper level; getting into the soil science and crop rotation” and more advanced topics.

For Schultz, the course helped him with realworld problems in his garden. He had been seeing diminished productivity in his tomato patch, and considered growing tomatoes in another area, but first had the soil tested through USU. It turned out that, after many years of adding manure as fertilizer, salts had built up in the soil. Flooding the patch rinsed the salt from the soil and restored it to previous production levels. Guidance and testing like this can short-cut trial and error in troubleshooting issues.

“It really saves a lot of blood, sweat and tears,” Schultz says.

learning pursuit.”

Both Bouchard and Schultz talked about gardening mostly in terms of growing food.

“People here really do care about food and where it comes from,” Bouchard says. “It was eye-opening to see. I didn’t realize Moab had such an agricultural history and background.”

For Schultz, growing food for himself is a way of life.

“I think it’s empowering,” he says. “For one, it kind of reduces your footprint out there. For two, when you live in such a remote area, you have a little more control over your destiny.” He notes wryly that there’s no fast food in La Sal.

“If you want a pizza, it’s a 70-mile round trip,” he says.

Price emphasizes that the course is appropriate for all experience levels.

“Even though it’s called ‘Master Gardener,’ it’s not for master gardeners, we’re developing master gardeners,” Price says. “As long as you have interest, even if you’ve never done anything like this, it’s just a really good springboard to get your feet wet. Nobody should feel like they don’t know enough to take the course.” n

I am so grateful that my husband and I found Becky and Suzanna!! Over the years we have worked with a handful of REALTORS®, but nothing beats working with this team. I really mean it! They work seamlessly together. They are very responsive. I knew I would hear from one or the other or both within a reasonable amount of time. They are very knowledgeable of the area, of city planning and zoning (they would also recommend that we confirm the information and gave us the correct contacts to do so or would do it themselves for us.), etc. They worked above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend them!

American Connection Corps

Longtime Moab resident Murice Miller (also a regular photographer for this magazine) is passionate about economic development and service. He is a member of a recently developed federal program called American Connection Corps (ACC), an AmeriCorps program of Lead for America. ACC puts its members in roles that advance community and economic development. Through his ACC position with BEACON Afterschool, Miller helped bring the local business and local nonprofit together.

The American Connection Corps was launched in 2021. It’s similar to the better-known AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers in Service to America) program, through which members serve in temporary placements to help organizations “expand capacity to make change” with the goal of alleviating poverty, according to the program’s website. Volunteers typically travel to a new place and receive a small stipend for their service.

ACC aims for its members to have “an existing appreciation for their host community,” through residence or another connection, according to its website. It focuses on rural areas, particularly places that are considered lacking in digital connectivity.

“By having members in these (less) connected areas, we’re not only addressing the digital divide but also expanding social and economic opportunities to bridge

cultural divides,” says Cadie Bergan, director of ACC national recruitment and selection.

The year-long ACC program offers a modest stipend, as well as professional training and development and service opportunities to this year’s cohort of 110 members.

When Miller found out about ACC, he was immediately interested. It seemed to line up perfectly with his own interests and values of community service and economic development. Carving out a position with the program took some persistence, but Miller was motivated.

“I wanted this opportunity,” he says. “The training, the serving—I wanted it.”

Bergan interviewed Miller during his application process.

“What stood out about Murice was his genuine connection to his community and his strong commitment to expanding access and resources for all residents,” Bergan says. “He has a clear vision for connecting more families in Moab to educational and social opportunities.”

After being accepted to ACC, Miller then had to find a local host organization in Moab. Bergan explains that some organizations reach out to ACC to get on their list of hosts; other times, the ACC seeks out potential hosts.

Miller sent a list of possible host candidates to ACC, who then contacted those organizations, but none panned out. Then a friend and former co-worker of Miller’s told him about a new position with BEACON Afterschool: Marketing and Communications Coordinator.

BEACON Afterschool

BEACON provides a variety of clubs, tutoring, and enrichment activities for K-12 kids after school, often at no cost to families. Xandra Odland, director of Moab’s BEACON Afterschool program, said the organization is facing steep funding cuts this year as federal grants offered through the American Rescue Plan Act run out. While those grants were available, other smaller funding sources were reallocated. Now that ARPA is phasing out, those smaller grantors aren’t returning, leaving out-ofschool programs like BEACON in a precarious position. Many have had to reduce services or close.

“We’re trying to fundraise about a third of our budget this year,” Odland says. That’s compared to about 5% of last year’s budget that came from local fundraising.

The newly established Marketing and Communications Coordinator position is also tasked with helping to fundraise.

“A lot of what we were needing to do was tell our story,” Odland says. “We knew we had a big fundraising push coming up, and we knew that a big part of that, both in the community and more broadly, was being able to communicate what it is we’re doing here.”

When Miller applied for the position and explained that he wanted to use it as an ACC role, BEACON staff were enthusiastic. ACC supplements the cost of the position salary, and also covers benefits, meaning the position costs less overall for BEACON.

“When we met with Murice and he mentioned Lead for America, and that he was looking for a host organization to do something just like what we were looking for, it really was an ideal fit,” Odland says.

Economic development

The connection between an after-school program and economic development might not be immediately apparent, but both Miller and Odland, as well as ACC representatives, saw the potential.

“BEACON really is important to community economic development and health and social capital,” Miller says. “Parents are working and they’re trying to finish working til five, and (with BEACON) they have a safe place where their child can be at and learn skills.”

Not only does after-school care help parents work and help prepare kids to engage in the community, but Miller is also planning to use his role to offer community training in digital literacy. He’s in contact with a group called Teens Teach Tech that trains young people to teach technology skills to adults.

“Murice’s role will amplify local voices and foster greater connection among residents,” Bergan says.

Moab Gelateria and Espresso Bar

The gelato initiative checks a lot of boxes for both BEACON and ACC. Miller had the idea of partnering with local businesses to create products or services that would be sold to support both the vendor and the after-school program. He proposed the idea to businesses around town and the gelateria was the first to come aboard.

Dennis Yanez opened the Moab Gelateria and Espresso Bar in 2022 with his wife, Melissa Aldaba. Working at the nearby Moab Brewery, Aldaba noticed that one of the units in the shopping center was housing offices, and thought it would make a great coffee shop instead. She and Yanez decided to lease it and open an espresso bar; they added gelato to their vision when they realized there was unused gelato-making equipment already being stored in the building.

“We were scared—well, I was scared—because I didn’t know anything about gelato,” Yanez says.

He researched recipes and procedures, even calling a gelato shop in Italy to make sure they were doing things the authentic way. Now the tiny shop, decorated with a wall of pink flow ers, offers a full menu of espresso drinks and rotating frozen treat flavors.

(just steps away from the Moab Brewery). When Miller proposed adding a flavor that would support the BEACON program, Yanez saw an opportunity to make a community connection.

“I said, ‘let’s do it,’” he said of Miller’s pitch.

A collaborative recipe

Five high schoolers in BEACON’s Entrepreneurship Club, led by Miller, brainstormed flavor combinations and names, then took polls in the middle and high schools to choose the three most popular ideas. Miller brought those to Yanez, who chose Golden Hour.

High school senior Erem Boyuktepe enjoyed coming up with ideas with fellow club members and inventing flavors. Boyuktepe told BEACON High School Site Coordinator Emily Rutkowski that in the club, she learned about advertising a product and aiming at a specific audience, “so you know what you’re doing, instead of going randomly,” she said.

Yanez says he would never have thought of combining peach and mango, but he’s thrilled with the outcome, and customers have liked it too. He’s already gone through several batches of it. Parents of BEACON students have come in to buy it, and customers unconnected with BEACON are have show their supporting for the initiative.

The couple use fresh fruit in their recipes and have come up with unique flavor combos like cucumber-lemon; Yanez says that their most popular sellers recently have been espresso-hazelnut and BEACON’s peach-mango Golden Hour.

While the shop serves a lot of tourists, Yanez says he’d like to get more involved with the local community. Many Moabites still don’t know the gelateria is there

Miller hopes the Entrepreneurship Club can keep generating ideas for partnerships with other local businesses that could also help fundraise for BEACON.

“I think it’s got potential,” Odland says of the model. “This is our pilot one and so we’re excited to see how it goes.”

The club is applying for a small “Seeds to Start” grant from local market Moonflower Community Co-op, and is exploring the possibility of designing a label for Golden Hour gelato and selling it in tubs in local grocery stores. The project inspired Boyuktepe to think about launching her own product—making and selling keychains.

Meanwhile, Miller looks forward to seeing the ACC program expand in Moab.

“Going through this service opens up a lot of doors,” Miller says. “It’s an honor to be the first in Moab to do something like this, and I want to make sure that there’s more.” n
