The Extension Master Gardener program is a volunteer model connected to K-State Extension. After completing 40 to 50 hours of coursework covering multiple aspects of horticulture, participants are expected to donate an equivalent number of volunteer service hours to Extension horticulture programs.
Training will be taught by Kansas State University specialists, local Extension agents, and area horticulture experts. Applications are available now and must be submitted to the Southwind Extension District by Aug. 15, with a $95 registration fee. To apply, residents can use the Southwind Extension District website or request a mailed application.
