Applications are now being accepted for the South Dakota State University Extension Master Gardener and Home Horticulture training course.
SDSU Extension’s Master Gardener program helps gardening enthusiasts become expert volunteers. Once certified, Master Gardeners can host community programs and workshops to provide research-based information to their communities. Applications for this year’s training course are due March 10, 2024.
“Master Gardeners are out in their communities, helping us spread the word about tested, research-based gardening information,” said Prairey Walkling, SDSU Extension Master Gardener Field Specialist. “They are our proverbial ‘boots on the ground’ to help people succeed in their gardening adventures.”
A mix of online and in-person instruction, the training course is open from April 1 to July 31 for adults interested in learning more about flowers, plants, lawns and landscapes. Understanding of plants is helpful, but there are no course prerequisites.
The course focuses on plant care with training in various topics ranging from plant identification to soil health, in order to provide a comprehensive look at what helps lawns and gardens to thrive.
