Horticulture and landscaping classes with Master Gardener

The Haywood County Cooperative Extension Center is now accepting applications for the popular Master Gardener program.

The Master Gardener training class will begin in January and run through April. The class meets from 9 a.m. till noon on Wednesdays. The cost of the program, including training materials, is $85.

To become a Master Gardener, volunteer participants must complete the entire class and participate in 40 hours of volunteer work through the N.C. Cooperative Service Extension center.

There are currently 120 active Master Gardeners in Haywood County. These Master Gardeners contribute thousands of hours each year through Cooperative Extension programs, and by answering gardening questions through a plant clinic hotline.
