Do you like to garden and share your gardening experiences with others? Are you a plant enthusiast who looks forward to spring time and the outdoors? Then the Iowa State University (ISU) Scott County Extension Master Gardeners wants you!
Master Gardeners are volunteers, trained by ISU in horticulture, who return service to the community through a variety of educational projects. Trainees attend over 40 hours of classes and complete volunteer service. Each master gardener has the opportunity to learn and share their unique skills and knowledge with others in a variety of way.
Each year this opportunity is extended to a limited number of residents of Scott County. Classes are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings this fall at the ISU Scott County Extension and Outreach office, starting September 10th. There is a fee which covers the training and reference materials provided by ISU Scott County Extension and Outreach Office.
If you are interested in joining the Master Gardener program, additional information and an application for the 2015 fall session is available at our website http://www.extension.iastate.edu/scott/. The deadline for receipt of applications is July 31st. Applicants can attend a Master Gardener informational session scheduled in August. Send completed applications to Scott County Extension and Outreach, 875 Tanglefoot Lane in Bettendorf. Call 359-7577 with any questions.
