Want to be a Master Gardener?
The OSU Extension Master Gardener Volunteers of Allen, Hardin and Hancock County will be offering the Master Gardener Volunteer training program at the OSU-Lima Campus this spring. This program provides 50 hours of training in horticulture to interested gardeners who then commit to 50 hours of volunteer service in their home county.
Registration deadline is Feb. 20. Cost us $150.
Some topics include botany, plant selection, landscaping with annuals and perennials, vegetable gardening, tree selection and identification, fruit tree care, pesticides, soils and plant and insect identification.
The classes will begin Tuesday, March 7 and run through April 25. The classes will be held 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. each Tuesday and Thursday evening. Additionally, a full day seminar will be held on Saturday, March 18 as part of the curriculum.
Specialists from the Ohio State University Extension and experienced Master Gardener Volunteers will be teaching sessions along with some local experts.
