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 60 hours of community service during the ensuing
year. To remain active, Master Gardeners must complete 25 hours of community service
annually and 25 hours of continuing education. In Mason
County training to become a Master Gardener is held every other year. In 2001
fifty-two Master Gardener Interns completed training. The next training is scheduled
for fall 2007. To find out more about be becoming a Mason County Master Gardener
