 2010 Master Gardener Class Schedule
Posted by jerry on Sunday, January 24 @ 10:28:09 EST (19 reads)
writes "The training season has begun for 2010 and we always get questions about whether Master Gardener classes are open to the public. The answer is, "No, but maybe."
Classes are open to veterans and trainees first, but if you find a particular course on this year's schedule that you would like to attend, you may be able to get in on a "pay to learn, stand-by" basis. Each one and one-half hour class session costs $10. There are 3 class sessions per class day. If there is available seating after official interns and veteran Master Gardeners are seated, paying visitors will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
No, there isn't any way to tell you in advance if a particular class will have "standby room" or not. "

Become a Master Composter
Posted by jerry on Sunday, January 24 @ 09:19:51 EST (72 reads)
writes "After a 15 year hiatus, applications are now being accepted for the revived Master Composter training program. The program, with administrative support from the Bernalillo County Extension Service, is a "sister" to the Master Gardener Program. Each has its own separate and distinct mission.
A Master Composter is a volunteer trained to teach others about home composting. Students will complete a 20 hour program covering the science, materials and methods of composting and soil amending taught by local experts. Graduates will be required to volunteer 10 hours of community outreach in 2010."

The Albuquerque Area Master Gardener Program assists the community by providing
gardening and horticultural information. Master Gardeners provide this information as volunteers of the Bernallilo County Cooperative Extension Service, in conjunction
with New Mexico State University. As such, Master Gardeners are not permitted to
promote any commercial product, business or activity. The role of the Albuquerque
Area Master Gardener Program is one of education only.
