BY UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO BLAINE COUNTY EXTENSION
University of Idaho Extension Master Gardener volunteer training and laboratories are taught by University of Idaho Extension educators and in your community. Field trips and readings from your copy of the comprehensive Idaho Master Gardener Handbook will fill out your instructional program.
Once you’ve finished your classroom training, passed your exams, and completed your volunteer hours, or “practicum,” you’ll be certified as a University of Idaho Extension Master Gardener volunteer for one year. And, you’ll be enriched by basic gardening knowledge, pest identification abilities, leadership training and planning skills.
Many Idaho Master Gardeners choose to extend their certification into future years through advanced training and a commitment of additional volunteer hours.
You can even earn University of Idaho credits for your Master Gardener course.
