What does it take 
to become a Master Gardener?


To become a Master Gardener

A person must complete the basic training and complete forty volunteer hours.  The core training lasts about three months. Each class focuses on a different aspect of gardening – plant science, soil, flower gardening, woody ornamental, lawn care, vegetables, small fruit culture, fruit trees, plant health, indoor plants and household pests. 

​To maintain Master Gardener Certification​

Master Gardeners must volunteer for 20 hours each year and take 10 hours of classes.  Volunteering can be done in many ways such as working on a community gardening project, answering questions on the hot line, working with children in schools, or volunteering at the Farmers Market. It is a wonderful way to meet people who share the gardening passion.
