How Do I Become a Master Gardener?
Requirements: No prior experience with plants or gardening is necessary – just a willingness to learn and share with others through various Extension Master Gardener projects. You need to be available for about 55 to 60 hours of training classes your first year (~42 of which are online). You must have at least a High School Diploma or the equivalent. The fee is approximately $100.00, but if this is a hardship we have a few scholarship spaces. We only have space for 30 trainees.
When: Thursdays, September through December from 1:00 to 4:00 PM CST (online)
Additional sessions will meet in-person at the Douglas County Extension office.
