 new! The Georgia Master Gardener program is a training course designed to help Cooperative Extension agents transfer research-based information about gardening and related subjects to the public by training home gardeners.
Applications are being accepted until November 1 for the 2009 program. Classes are scheduled to meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. from January 6 through March 31. Participants are expected to attend at least 80% of the 22 classes and volunteer at least 50 hours in the first year and 25 hours each year thereafter to remain an active Georgia Master Gardener. These volunteer hours are achieved through assisting and educating others, not through labor.
The program is administered by Cooperative Extension and sponsored by The State Botanical Garden of Georgia. For details, call 706-613-3640. An application is available online in the Online Documents area.
