Now accepting applications for Extension Master Gardener volunteers - Mount Olive Tribune

Do you have an interest in learning more about gardening? Would you like to meet and share with other gardeners? Do you have an interest in volunteering to provide gardening educational programs with the North Carolina Cooperative Extension? Then the Wayne County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer program may be for you.

The Wayne County Cooperative Extension Office is now accepting applications to recruit new Extension Master Gardener volunteers. An Extension Master Gardener is a volunteer for NC Cooperative Extension. Volunteers assist their local county extension office providing unbiased, research-based information to gardeners of all ages on home lawns, landscapes and gardens. The information that Extension Master Gardener volunteers provide are ones that guide homeowners in making practical decisions in their landscapes and gardens.

Potential volunteers should have an interest and commitment to volunteering, be available to volunteer on weekdays, willing to share their knowledge and interested in learning more about gardening. Prior gardening knowledge is not required.

A training course will be held in 2020 on Wednesdays starting Jan. 22 through June 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Training classes prepare potential volunteers to answer gardening questions and diagnose common problems related to cultivating lawns, fruits and vegetables, and landscape plants. The registration cost is $75 without a handbook or $125 with a hard copy handbook.

The first step to becoming an Extension Master Gardener volunteer is to stop by the Wayne County Cooperative Extension Office to pick up an application packet. The application packet will include volunteer requirements, application and training schedule. The application deadline is Jan. 15.

Join in on Friday, Jan. 3, from 10 a.m. to noon to learn more about the Wayne County Extension Master Gardener Volunteer program. This information session will be held at the Wayne County Cooperative Extension Office.

For more information and/or to pick up an application packet, contact the Wayne County Cooperative Extension Office at 919-731-1520. Wayne County Cooperative Extension Office is located at The Maxwell Center at 3114B Wayne Memorial Drive, Goldsboro.
