Men Talking by Garden

Beginning April 5, 2021, you can begin the journey to becoming an Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer (EMGV). New for 2021 is the delivery of the course; offering the same great program, but from the safety and comfort of your home. Virtual delivery also means flexibility to meet your schedule. The 12-week virtual program will include weekly class gatherings with the instructor, reading and homework assignments, quizzes, and fun, interactive activities for everyone. Cost for the training is $125.00

Upon completion of the course, you’ll enter a one-year internship, where you are required to volunteer 40 hours in your choice of many community activities. Interns also are encouraged to join the Master Gardener℠ volunteers of Gaston County, where you will meet other folks who have completed the process. Once the Internship is completed, you’ll become a Certified Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer and commit to 20 hours of volunteer service and 10 continuing education hours per year thereafter.

Is the Extension Master Gardener℠ program of Gaston County for you? To help you decide if you should apply, ask yourself these questions.

  • Do I want to learn more about the culture and maintenance of many types of plants?
  • Am I eager to participate in a practical and intense training program?
  • Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community?
  • Do I have enough time to attend training and to complete the volunteer service?
