Allen County Master Gardener Training
We're excited to announce that Allen County is hosting an Extension Master Gardener training this fall! This training course covers various horticultural topics including ornamental plants, growing fruits and vegetables, soil health, invasive species, plant pests, and much more. The program aims to train volunteers to spread horticultural knowledge throughout the community. Classes take place in-person with sessions led by multiple experts and professionals. Upon completing the course, there will be a written exam to become a master gardener intern. Interns can then volunteer in the community to become master gardeners.
The cost is $195.00, which covers the entire class and a printed manual. Sessions will take place on Mondays from 6:00-9:00 PM at the Allen County Extension Office at 4001 Crescent Ave Fort Wayne, IN 46815 on the following dates:
