Recognizing Diane Gawronski, UConn Master Gardener, for Receiving Haddam Historical Society Award

We love sharing the accomplishments of Master Gardeners! Diane Gawronski, MG Middlesex Class of 2022, was honored this year with an award by the Haddam Historical Society. See their full post below:
“This year the Haddam Historical Society acknowledged garden volunteer Dr. Diane Gawronski, DMD with the Founders’ Day Award. Diane has been responsible for our spectacular vegetable garden for the past two summers. This year she created an assortment of historic garden trellises including a tomato table and bean teepee. The center teepee not only featured a variety of beans but morning glory and moon flower. Squash and melons grew on a stick trellis and herbs were protected by stick stockades. Diane created an easy- to -read hand-out on “The Historic Art of Garden Trellising” and shared her knowledge with visitors and groups on her creating this delightful space.
Diane came to us as volunteer with the Master Gardener Program and created an artistic masterpiece in our little historic garden. Thank you, Diane.”
