How to Become a Master Gardener

To become certified, Master Gardeners must successfully complete both the training and service requirements during their first year in the program. To maintain certification, a minimum number of hours of continuing education (10 hours) and volunteer service (24 hours) must be completed annually.

The SouthEast Wisconsin Master Gardener membership dues of $10 per year also includes membership in the state Master Gardener Association.


Master Gardener General Training for 2009 will be held January 13, 2009 through April 9, 2009 depending on location. There will be Tuesday evening classes at the Waukesha County Courthouse and Thursday daytime classes at Boerner Botanical Gardens.
