A great event attended by many. More to come when possible.

Cleveland County Master Gardener Association

Dotty L. Leatherwood is a certified NC State Extension Program Master Gardener and has expertise in evergreen trees and shrubs, small farm gardening including "box gardening" and soil conditioning and landscape design. 

Early in her career, she was employee by the N.C. Department of Forestry and worked at Edwards Tree Nursery in Morganton, NC developing and cataloguing seedlings for planting in reforestation projects.

She is available to consult with gardeners and farmers regarding soil issues, vegetable planting techniques, evergreen trees (conifers) and other planting and landscaping topics.  In addition, she is available for workshop presentations on these and other farm and garden areas. 

In addition, Dotty has extensive knowledge of canning, freezing and preserving vegetables, herbs and fruit.  She produces "sauerkraut", homemade jams and jellies, pickled vegetables of several varieties (including cucumbers) and dries herbs including basil, rosemary, chives, and lavender among others. 

Dotty maintains a ROW GARDEN planted without tilling using special techniques to amend soil and produce healthy plants.  She has several models of "box" gardening for those who have smaller space or want a "raised bed" garden.  And she welcomes questions regarding her planting, potting, preserving and producing techniques.

You may contact her for more information on our "CONTACT" page on the left side of this page.
