Master
Gardener Program
Public education is the primary objective
of our WSU Master Gardener Program. We host Plant Diagnostic
Clinics in the community throughout the year. We also teach
sound gardening techniques and
work with youth in 4-H and in the classroom. Please visit our Grays Harbor WSU Master Gardener Foundation website for more information.

How to Become a Master Gardener:
The Master Gardener program involves volunteer education
and community outreach. At the completion of the
60-hour training program, "intern" Master Gardeners
fulfill their commitment by performing 60 hours of community
service during the ensuring year. To remain active,
Master Gardeners must complete 25 hours of community
service annually and 25 hours of continuing education.
In the Grays Harbor and Pacific County
Program there are over 120 active WSU Master Gardeners.
Training sessions for new Master Gardeners are held
every other year, in the fall. WSU Master Gardener training for 2006 will begin September 19 at the Central Park Neighborhood Church (9:30 am - 3:30 pm) and will continue for the next six weeks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information or to be put on the
