Applications for the 2011 Washington State University Master Gardener Program are now available. 

The program trains volunteers in horticulture, gardening and pest management.  These volunteers learn how to identify and troubleshoot common garden challenges and to offer environmentally responsible solutions. 

WSU faculty, staff and local specialists provide university training in horticulture and related topics. 

Then, in return for this training, volunteers assist local Extension personnel in providing information and education to the community.  Along the way, life-long friendships with fellow Master Gardeners develop.

Training is scheduled 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. every Thursday from January 6 to March 31.

A $150 fee is charged to cover costs of materials and training, plus a $50 to $75 fee (TBD yet) to cover the on-line training fee (which is paid by credit card when you register).  If needed, you can sign up for on-line training to be held Dec. 7 or 8.

Applications must be submitted by October 31, 2010 to be considered.
