Tom Jacobsen teaches the plant anatomy classes for the Master Gardener program along with a variety of gardening classes in Fremont County he calls Green Thumb Classes. He loves to help people figure out what is going on in their garden, landscapes, or trees. He is most familiar with evergreen trees i.e., pines, firs, and spruces. Jacobsens' job description recently changed so he focuses more on agriculture than horticulture, but that shouldn't stop someone from reaching out to him if they have home gardening questions.

As a Family & Consumer Sciences Extension educator, Deanna Poulsen provides food preservation and food safety classes in Eastern Idaho. She serves as the program coordinator for the Master Food Safety Advisor (Master Food Preservers) and works hand-in-hand to assist gardeners to safely preserve and prepare their harvests for peak enjoyment.

Poulsen said she enjoys teaching her community how to utilize their resources to have the best possible outcome. Many home canners have heard about or experienced canning horror stories, so she strives to provide education that would help home canners confidently preserve.

All pressure canning equipment should be checked annually for appropriate seals and dial gauge reading, ideally prior to canning season. The office in Jefferson County checks canning gauges for free, so as this growing season comes to an end feel free to reach out to Deanna with any questions or concerns you might have.

Extension Educator Spotlight 🔦
Jared Gibbons is the extension educator to contact for any soil related questions. He can put a compost sample or soil sample under the microscope and tell you how much biological activity there is and what kinds are there, ie. fungi, bacteria, protozoa and nematodes. This tells you how much natural nutrient cycling and natural fertility is in the sample.

Gibbons has shared some of this information in the classes he has taught on compost, mulches, organic gardening, market gardening/ farmer’s markets. He organizes a few Master Gardeners in Madison County as well as helping the larger Master Gardener Program throughout the eastern side of the state. In the coming year, he will be teaching classes for absolute beginning gardeners (Brown Thumbs- Gardening 101). He would also like to offer a class on plant breeding in the future.

When asked, Gibbons said his favorite part of his job is the variety in his work that is always giving him something interesting to work on or answer. He also enjoys working on anything out of the ordinary- heritage and heirloom apple varieties, uncommon or unique plant species that are adapted to our growing conditions, or just all the cultivars that exist of something common like peony. So there is no Master Gardener related question that Jared wouldn’t want the chance to help find the answer to. You can find more information on how to contact him at the University’s website.
