MOUNT VERNON — If you’re interested in becoming a Master Gardener volunteer, but are not an expert gardener, this program is for you.
The only prerequisite is having a passion for gardening and volunteering through community garden education.
Becoming a Master Gardener Volunteer is an ongoing process. Your contributions to the community start during the initial course. Afterwards, you will have the skills and knowledge necessary to strengthen your relationship with the environment and the community.
To become a Master Gardener Volunteer, you will have the opportunity to complete 50 hours of classroom training and make a difference in your community by donating 50 ours of your time to service.
Once you have completed these hours you will then be an official Master Gardener Volunteers.
