What is the the Master Gardener Program?

The Montana Master Gardener Program was established as both a educational and volunteer service program.  The Master Gardner Class is a 16-hour course covering topics in horticulture and is the first step to becoming a certified Master Gardner.  Master Gardeners are an important resource in our community helping to provide fact-based horticulture information and support the county Extension agent.

You can go the Statewide Master Gardener Page to learn more or contact our office. 

You do not need to become a Master Gardener to take the class, but we do encourage you to.
