Hi Master Gardeners,
   Next semseter at the U, I will be involved with a new class HORT 
4000, International Experiences in Horticulture. Brian Horgan, the 
turfgrass professor and I are teaching this new class. Below is 
information about it. Some of you may hear about this and wonder about 
it, so I wanted to tell you directly.
   You have to take the class to go on the trip. The U tuition is about 
$1,000 for 3 credits unless you are a U employee. If you have other 
questions, feel free to contact me directly.
