Moreno Valley Gold Miners
September 8, 2012 the Moreno Valley Gold Miners participated in the Moreno Valley Parks and Recreation Youth Fest 2012. The usual police cars, fire trucks were out as well as the local animal shelter, political booths, churches, music classes, and the Master Gardener Information Table. 
The MGs hosted a seed planting table for children and youth where they could plant seeds of their choice in a small pot they filled with soil. MGs gave the new gardeners instructions on how to care for their seeds. Over 247 people came to visit the information table and/or plant a seed. Thom Bryan, Carol Haffter, and Dolores Purther worked with the children. Janet Hough, Carol Haffter, and Patricia Johnson worked the Information Table.

On Saturday, August 18th, Twenty-six Master Gardeners were able to experience the cooler temperatures (79 degrees), enjoy the view and fresh air while listening to and participating in a very informative talk covering all aspects of the apple growing procedures, and practices by Mr. Hudson (both senior and junior) at Snow-Line Apple Orchard in Oak Glen.
This mile-high orchard and those in the surrounding area have been in the apple growing business for over 100 years. Virtually everything is still performed manually. A tour of the cider mill and a grafting demonstration was included.
Some of the group also took advantage of the u-pick raspberries that were just coming into season and the hot mini-cider donuts.
The entire Hudson family was most accommodating and gracious to all of us and welcomes any questions from Master Gardeners.
