Love gardening but want to learn more about proper horticultural practices AND make a difference by applying your new skills in your community?

Apply now for the next Georgia Master Gardener class starting in March 2023!

Becoming a Master Gardener requires commitment. You’ll need to complete about 42 hours of training and 50 hours as a volunteer for UGA Extension the first year. To maintain your certification, you’ll need to volunteer for 25 hours a year after that.

The rewards are many:
 You’ll expand your gardening horizons by learning research-based practices you can apply to your own yard and in community gardening projects, whether your passion is growing vegetables or attracting butterflies.
 You’ll have the opportunity to attend special field trips, conferences and programs.
 You’ll be part of a respected national network of like-minded gardening ambassadors who assist universities in promoting good gardening practices.
And, you will make new friends who totally understand your plant obsession!

Call the phone number in your county to apply for the March 2023 class. Deadline to register is Jan. 20, 2023.
