A new session of master gardener training begins March 2 at the Juneau Cooperative Extension Service office.
Classes will meet from 6-9 p.m. Mondays through May 11 and on three Saturdays to be announced. The session will provide experienced gardeners in-depth training on a wide range of topics, including how to design, plant and maintain successful gardens in Southeast Alaska. Trainees will also be provided opportunities to share their skills with the community through various service projects and other venues.
Agriculture and horticulture agent Darren Snyder will teach the course with other local and Extension experts. Participants receive 40 hours of instruction and commit to providing at least 40 hours of volunteer service to their communities within a year of completing the class.
The $300 fee includes an Alaska gardening manual and a $150 deposit that will be refunded if service is completed within the year. Online registration is available at http://bit.ly/Juneamastergardener2020.
