On Thursday mornings at the New Hampshire Audubon's Massabesic Center in Auburn, dozens of volunteers from the University of New Hampshire Extension's Master Gardener Program can be found getting their hands dirty, welcoming visitors and sharing their gardening knowledge. ... One way master gardeners give back is by volunteering at therapy gardens, such as the Community Hospice House in Merrimack. ... "The house has been designed so that every room has a private patio, and the patients can be outside. The idea is to bring life into the rooms and honor the life cycle," master gardener Jean Abramson said.
