GAINESVILLE - North Hall High School Art Students from Marjorie Hinkley's Advanced Art Class participated in the "Georgia - A Gallery of Gardens" Georgia Master Gardeners Association (GMGA) Winter Conference Friday in Gainesville. The students displayed botanical works of art, placed the pieces for sale and donated 50% of proceeds to the gardener's association.

Hosted by the 160-member Hall County Master Gardeners, the conference attracted some 250 master gardeners statewide.

Locally, Kathy Lovett coordinated the opening art event, and Dave Rusk chaired the overall Winter Conference. The two-day meeting - which concluded Saturday - included vendor exhibits, guest speakers and walking tours of Green Street.

The Master Gardeners are affiliated with the University of Georgia Extension Service.
