Master Gardeners are individuals with a passion for horticulture, education and giving back to the community by sharing their knowledge of environmentally sound gardening practices with various community groups and organizations, through clinics, seminars, public displays and special projects.
This intensive 78-hour course is designed for the enthusiastic home gardener, providing up-to-date information on all the gardening basics. The course combines home study, classroom and online instruction, and assignments. Learn from other Master Gardeners and local gardening experts about a series of topics relevant to northern BC.

Master Gardeners may also work on research or community projects.
