Josephine County Master Gardeners
The Master Gardener program combines in-depth classes with hands-on volunteer experience learning in plant clinics, gardens, and greenhouses. The purpose of the training is to teach students sustainable gardening methods and to prepare you to be a Master Gardener volunteer. As a Master Gardener, you will provide accurate gardening information to Josephine County citizens through our clinic at the OSU Extension office or at organized events throughout the county. Classes are offered just once a year, every Thursday, from January 12, 2012 to March 29, 2012. The classes start at 9:00 a.m. and go until 4:00 p.m. with an hour off for lunch. Classes are held at the OSU Extension Auditorium, 215 Ringuette St., and Grants Pass. Registration is open now and has limited space. The course costs $100 which covers material fees. All Master Gardener students agree to complete 70 hours of volunteer service with the program. Volunteer activities include plant clinic, greenhouse, demonstration gardens, school programs, spring garden fair and other activities. Your volunteer hours and activities can be flexible to fit your schedule. If this program is what you are looking for, then join us. Come down to the OSU Extension Office at 215 Ringuette St, Grants Pass, OR 97526 to register and set up an orientation time. Space is limited so register early. If you have any questions about the program, call 541-476-6613.
