2006 Master Gardener Graduates
Offered every spring, the Master Gardener Volunteer Training Program provides intense gardening training to enable volunteers to help low-income residents grow their own food. The curriculum emphasizes organic gardening and covers vegetables, fruits, flowers, shrubs, trees, soils, composting, pests and harvesting. Once trained, Master Gardeners provide free gardening workshops and their technical expertise to approximately 60 public community gardens, hundreds of school gardens, and many senior and shelter gardens throughout Los Angeles County.
Application packets are available December 1 through January 15 every year. Classes are held every Saturday in March, April and May from 9 am to 4 pm.
