MADERA COUNTY – Madera County Master Gardeners will be hosting a Meet-and-Greet evening for anyone interested in becoming a Cooperative Extension Master Gardener.
The program has annual training classes that provide participants instruction about important garden
ing topics. After completing the training, Master Gardener volunteers perform 25 hours of community volunteer work and complete 12 hours of continuing education each year to maintain their status.
Come and meet the Master Gardeners! It’s a chance to get acquainted, find out more about the program and ask questions. Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners design and maintain the Three Sisters Demonstration Garden at Madera Community College Center, provide free garden advice clinics, and present information to the community on a variety of gardening topics. It’s a great way to indulge your love of plants and give back to your community.
