Pre-registration was required to attend this class.

University of Illinois Extension Master Gardeners are volunteers who put their green thumbs to good use by training with Extension horticulture experts and then sharing their knowledge in the community. Together we are constantly learning and that's what makes it fun!

Training emphasizes practical research-based information and includes virtual lectures, discussions, activities and online videos. Training topics include: Botany, Plant Pathology, Annuals and Perennials, Soils, Insects, Woody Ornamentals, Vegetables, Turf, Fruits, IMP and Living with Wildlife. 

The November 5 class subject is Practical Applications and the guest speakers are Extension Program Coordinators Beth Miglin and Julia Duncan, as well as Horticulture & Naturals Resources Educator Sarah Vogel. This class is being held on Thursday, instead of Tuesday, due to Election Day being a state holiday. 

The fall Master Gardener training will be a live virtual format. You must have internet access to participate.

Live virtual training classes are 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM on Tuesdays, September 15 - December 15. 

The cost is $175 for virtual training, materials, and independent video classes.
Participants may be eligible for fee waivers, please contact us for details.
