Become An Extension Master Gardener (EMG)

The Master Gardener Program provides gardeners with intensive education in the field of horticulture.

To become an EMG, trainees must complete 50 hours of education, beginning in January each year, which include classroom instruction, field trips, and hands-on learning. To remain active, EMGs must complete 20 hours of volunteer service and 8 hours of continuing education annually.
