The Fairfield County Master Gardener program trains interested volunteers every other year with the next local course being planned for 2015.
The Master Gardener course consists of 7 classes that cover the entire MG training manual. A requirement upon completion of the course is 50 hours of volunteer service to be given back to the program on a variety of projects. Linked here is an example of one of those projects as it was recently seen in the Columbus Dispatch.
Cost is usually no more than $140 for the entire course. If you would like to enroll in the 2015 Fairfield County Master Gardener Class, please send your name, e-mail address, and physical mailing address to Connie Smith at smith.3204@osu.edu. You will also be placed on the mailing list for related upcoming programs.
Thanks for your interest in the Fairfield County Master Gardener Volunteer program.
