Public education is the primary objective of our Master Gardener
Program. We host Plant Diagnostic Clinics at our office and in the community.
We also teach sound gardening techniques and work with youth in 4-H and in the
classroom.

How
to Become a Master Gardener
The
Master Gardener program involves volunteer education and community outreach. At
the completion of the 60-hour training program, "intern" Master Gardeners
fulfill their commitment to perform 45 hours of community service during each of the following two years. To remain active, Master Gardeners must complete 25 hours of community service
annually and 10 hours of continuing education.
In Mason
County training to become a Master Gardener is held every other year. In 2007
forty four Master Gardener Interns completed training. The next training begins on September 18, 2009 and continues each Friday from 9 am - 4 pm through November 20, 2009. This year the training program will include on line training modules. Access to a computer is highly advised, but we will accommodate those who do not have access to a computer.
