Enrollment is limited to 20 dedicated people who are willing to volunteer 30 hours the first year and 20 volunteer hours, along with 6 continuing education hours in subsequent years to become an active member of the Ozark Gateway Master Gardeners, or chapter of their choice. Once trained, continuing education hours are available through attending monthly meetings, workshops, and classes.
Session topics include botany and plant identification techniques, plant environments, soil health, diagnostics of diseases and pests, home fruit production, home vegetable production, landscaping with woody plants, landscaping with herbaceous plants, lawns and alternative lawns, tropical plants and plant propagation. Each session concludes with a strategy of educational volunteering on each topic.
This years’ master gardener training classes are held in partnership with the Carthage Public Library.
