Applications now accepted for Colorado Master Gardener Program

The Colorado Master Gardener Program in the Golden Plains Area is accepting applications now.  

The program will run over a two-year period. The training will be provided in the first year with payment up front and half of the required volunteer hours due by Oct. 31, 2021. In the second year, the rest of the volunteer hours are due with a reenrollment fee.

Classes are available on-line with dates arranged for a group lab. There are up to five classes online with a lab to follow at a designated location and five classes where the applicants meet for distance education at designated locations in the Golden Plains Area.

The class schedule starts in February and runs through mid-April. The last class in April is a local class that covers orientation concerning the code of conduct and CMG requirements.  

Those accepted into the program will receive training on plant care and have the opportunity to work with other gardeners from the Golden Plains Area who volunteer in the community.
