Folks considering Master Gardener Intern Training, offered by Purdue Extension Bartholomew County, have until August 3rd to submit an application.
Training will be held on Tuesday evenings at Eastside Community Center and other garden locations. The sessions start with an orientation on August 25, and continue through November 17. Topics will include landscape design, home orchard, vegetable gardening, plant science, plant problem diagnosis and control, woody plants, pesticide safety, lawn care, animal damage control, and herbaceous plants.
Materials for the series begin at $70, depending on the format selected. Applications are available from the Purdue Extension office or at https://extension.purdue.edu/Bartholomew.
Fee assistance is available.
The Purdue Master Gardener Program provides a learning framework for participants to increase their knowledge on a wide range of horticultural subjects. In turn, participants contribute knowledge, leadership, and service in educational gardening activities within their community. 35 hours of volunteer service are needed for a participant to reach the level of Master Gardener.
