Do you have an interest in serving in as a volunteer on one of our projects? Do you have the desire to share the joy of gardening with others? Do you want to teach others more about nature and their environment? Are you prepared and committed to complete the required training and volunteer service? If you answer “yes,” you might consider becoming a member of the Master Gardeners of Hamilton County Class of 2010.
Master Gardener training is held once a year beginning in January. The three-hour classes are conducted for fifteen weeks, with graduation in April. You can choose to attend the Monday night class or the Tuesday morning class. Classes begin January 4 for the Monday night sessions and January 5 for the Tuesday morning sessions.
Classes are held in the Hamilton County Agriculture Center located at 6183 Adamson Circle (just off of Bonny Oaks Drive in the Industrial Park). All classes are taught by Extension specialists and agents from The University of Tennessee, local experts in horticulture, and certified Master Gardeners. Topics include basic botany, soil testing, insect pests, plant diseases, lawn care, vegetable gardening, fruit tree care, flowers, houseplants, herbs, and landscaping.
