Become a Master Gardener!
2008 Master Gardener Training

Master Gardeners are a vital resource to the York County Extension Horticultural Program.  These volunteers teach classes, answer horticultural inquiries, present programs, and diagnose plant diseases. Master Gardeners extend the resources of the land-grant university through their volunteer efforts. 

The Peninsula Offices of Virginia Cooperative Extension will sponsor the 2007 Master Gardener training.  The training will be held each Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm, from  September 2- November 13, 2008.  Classes will be held at the Northside Church of Christ, located on Route 17 in Tabb.  Participants in the program attend all classes and will receive a minimum of 60 hours of horticultural information.  Upon graduation the participant will return 50 hours of service to Virginia Cooperative Extension, through answering the phone, conducting educational programs, leading a team, support positions and many other areas. 

Registration deadline for 2008 training is May 30, 2008.
