Can I apply

to be an

Idaho Master

Gardener?

Anyone with an interest in sharing research-based

gardening solutions and teaching others to garden can

become an Idaho Master Gardener! You must be

interested in sharing horticulture knowledge with

others. Becoming a Master Gardener gives you the

chance to learn:

• soils

• basic botany

• disease diagnosis

• insects

• weed ID & management

• lawn care

• landscape shrubs & trees

• vegetables, herbs & fruits

An Idaho Master Gardener is about all of this and

more! It’s about sharing your passion and knowledge

of gardening with your community. It’s about

empowering the community to tackle their landscaping

and gardening challenges by providing them with

research-based solutions for a more sustainable life.

Master Gardener Schedule Training runs mid-January through the end of

April. Classes will meet at the Canyon County

Extension Office. Space is limited, so early

registration is recommended. Check with

the University of Idaho Extension Office in

Canyon County at 208-459-6003 for specific

dates for the upcoming program.

Cost For information on the current fee charged for the

Idaho Master Gardener class, please call the

Canyon County Extension Office.

The deadline to apply is mid-December. The fee

includes the cost for a background check, the

equivalent of a 3 credit university class with

instruction and materials, several hands-on labs,

field trips and your name badge when you

complete the program.

Horticulture industry professionals are encouraged

to take the class without the volunteer

requirements. Call the Canyon County

Extension Office to find out information

on the cost for this professional

development opportunity.
