APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2010 UCONN MASTER GARDENER CLASSES ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED.
The University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension System is now accepting applications for the Cooperative Extension Master Gardener Program for 2010*. The objective of the program is to provide horticultural training to individuals who want to share knowledge with the public through community volunteerism, and wish to expand their gardening interests.
The program is broad-based, intensive and consists of 14 class sessions (one full day per week) beginning in early January 2010. The Master Gardener program includes 145 hours of training – 85 hours of class and 60 hours of volunteer service, with a minimum of 30 hours spent in Cooperative Extension Centers during business hours. Individuals successfully completing the program will receive a University of Connecticut Cooperative Extension Master Gardener certificate. The charge for the program is $395.00, which includes a training manual. Partial scholarships may be available based on demonstrated financial need.
Classes will be held in North Haven, Norwich, Stamford, Torrington, and Vernon.

Taking Calls!
UConn master gardeners are now available to answer home gardeners’ questions about problems they might be encountering with their lawns, flower beds, vegetable gardens, shrubs, and trees. The master gardeners have completed a three month training period to prepare them. They diagnose specimens brought to the office, answer phone queries, and provide printed information to clients.
Volunteering to provide assistance to home gardeners is part of the Master Gardeners’ preparation for UConn Master Gardener certification.
