Collapse ▲Master Gardener℠ Volunteer Training
Craven County, Fall 2022
All sessions will be held at the Craven County Agricultural Building, beginning at 9 a.m. and concluding at noon. Classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but not every Tuesday & Thursday, so be sure to look over the schedule closely. Be sure to visit the two links below for important information from NC State University regarding the Extension Master Gardener℠ program of Craven County:
Become an Extension Master Gardener℠ Volunteer
North Carolina Extension Master Gardener℠ Program Guidelines
The Master Gardener℠ volunteer notebook is optional, but there is a $50 state fee for all enrollees. For procedural reasons, this fee is not included in the Eventbrite registration. Some students become concerned when they have to miss one or two classes. From our perspective, we expect almost everyone will end up missing a class here and there. We ask that you do your best to get to the total of 40 hours of class time, and we’ll do our best to present an excellent educational experience.
Many other questions will no doubt arise, most of which we can best handle once we get started with classes. Email me at tom_glasgow@ncsu.edu for questions pertaining to this memo and the schedule.
Please register through Eventbrite
