Interested in becoming a Master Gardener? Applications for fall training will be open from July 12 to August 12. No late applications will be accepted to
accommodate the time needed to run background checks.
Fall classes start September 3.
Who are we looking for? We want volunteers who are interested in gardening and horticulture, curious and love learning, and can commit to the 10-week initial training and 40-hour internship period. We value volunteers who bring diverse perspectives, skills, talents, and interests to the program. New trainees do not need any prior gardening or volunteer experience.

Scholarships are available for those with financial need.
