PlantersPlace.com provides Osmocote samples to Master Gardeners for their events. Master Gardeners work to further gardening knowledge with the general public and to beautify their communities. They serve without compensation. Their gardening supplies are funded either from the proceeds of plant sales or from their own pocket. This is why we support Master Gardeners --  to help defray a small fraction of their expenses. As with any such program, their is a cost. PlantersPlace.com has limited resources. It is unable to supply gardening clubs and / or individual with samples. Bob Stohler, manager, PlantersPlace.com
