Registration is now open for the 2025 UVM Extension Master Gardener course, a comprehensive gardening course that covers basic botany; vegetable, fruit, and ornamental gardening; integrated pest management of insects and diseases; soil fertility; tree care; pollinator plants; sustainable landscaping; and more.
Two tracks are available: Track 1 for those who'd like to become certified UVM Extension Master Gardener Volunteers with a 40-hour internship requirement, and Track 2 for non-residents and Vermont gardeners interested in home horticulture study without certification.
The online course opens on January 23, 2025 and runs for 16 weeks; students have online access to materials through May 29.
Track 1 students participate in live Zoom sessions on Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m. from Jan 29 to May 14. Register by no later than Jan 17; the registration fee is $400 for Vermonters and $550 for non-residents.
Vermonters can apply for scholarships, VSAC, and AmeriCorps awards until December 13.
