Train with WSU Snohomish County Master Gardeners
Earn a Hort Pro Certificate
Home gardeners and horticulture professionals can now train alongside Master Gardeners without having to provide volunteer payback hours. Instead they pay up front for the training and receive a Hort Pro Certificate from Washington State University Snohomish County Extension upon completion. Registrations for the 2010 course are now being accepted.
WSU faculty and specialists provide training in Northwest best gardening practices including plant, insect and disease identification, botany, soils, pruning, composting, fruit and vegetables, perennials, trees, shrubs and vertebrate pest control. Participants learn how to identify and troubleshoot today’s garden challenges using environmentally responsible options. This year we will be integrating some on-line training and will have more interactive class sessions. Previous training is not required.
Registration deadline is November 30, 2009 for the 2010 course which runs January through mid March from 8:30am to 4pm each Thursday and one Saturday. The $500 Hort Pro registration fee covers training materials, testing and the Hort Pro Certificate. Space is limited and filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.
