    Notes:
    Master of Science thesis, Agricultural Education, Texas A&M University, College Station. 121 pages., Results indicated that CD-based materials were more effective than were face-to-face workshops for teaching difficult turfgrass material to master gardener trainees. Participants were found to be participating in community development activities, but many master gardener activities were "development in the community rather than development of the community."
