Master Gardeners are a vital resource to the
Gloucester County Extension Horticultural Program. These
volunteers teach classes, answer horticultural
inquiries, present programs, and diagnose plant
diseases. Master Gardeners extend the resources of
the land-grant university through their volunteer
efforts.
The Peninsula Offices of
Virginia Cooperative Extension will sponsor the 2008 Master Gardener training. The training will be held
each Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am -
12:00 pm, from September 2- November 13, 2008.
Classes will be held at the Northside Christian Church, located on Route 17 in Tabb. Participants
in the program attend all classes and will receive a
minimum of 60 hours of horticultural information.
Upon graduation the participant will return 50 hours
of service to Virginia Cooperative Extension,
through answering the phone, conducting educational
programs, leading a team, support positions and many
other areas.
Registration
deadline for 2008 training is June 2, 2008.
