Page Content Sumner County Master Gardener Programs
The
Master Gardener program has a two-part mission:
1)
Increase
the horticultural knowledge of participants.
2)
Encourage
the sharing of horticultural information through volunteering.
The
training consists of approximately 15 sessions on different topics, totaling
about 40 hours of training.
Participants
agree to return 40 volunteer hours back to the program in the community plus
earn 8 hours of continued education units.
Participants
become Certified Master Gardeners once the requirements are met. Annual
requirements to maintain certification are 25 volunteer and 8 continued
education hours.
Training
sessions begin in mid-January and continue through early to mid-April. The
sessions will be held in Gallatin. The training will include weekly sessions on
Thursday nights and possibly sessions on a Saturday or two during the period,
The night sessions begin at 6:30 pm and end at 9:00 pm. Single Saturday
sessions are done by noon.
The
fee for the class in 2019 was $125 per individual, or $175 for two people in
the same household. There may be a small increase in price for 2020.
