Marion County will not be offering a Fall 2021 Extension Master Gardener Basic Training course. During the Spring of 2022, there will be a state-wide virtual course available. We are currently planning on offering a fall 2022 in-person Extension Master Gardener Basic Training course. For those unable or unwilling to wait until 2022 for training, please contact Carey Grable, cagrable@purdue.edu so that we may connect you with a neighboring county for training.
For information on classes in other counties this spring, go to 2021 Purdue Extension Master Gardener basic training.
