MASTER GARDENER TRAINING

 

General Training gives a broad overview of horticultural crops and related topics. Sessions are held during the late winter to early spring. In return, participants perform at least 24 hours of volunteer service within their first year.

Specialized Training is offered to Master Gardeners in a three-year cycle of subjects which include:

  • Fruits & Vegetables

  • Garden Flowers

  • Landscape Plants & Lawns

This course consists of 6-7 full day sessions held on consecutive Thursdays beginning the last week of September. 24 hours of volunteer service are expected of all participants in this course.

Continuing Education is provided through a wide variety of programs presented by UWEX horticulturists, as well as trips, speakers, and workshops sponsored by the Fond du Lac County Master Gardeners. 10 hours of continuing education and 24 hours of volunteer service are required each year to maintain Master Gardener certification.

See our calender of events for more information on upcoming workshops, trips and training sessions
