Maryland MG Basic Training Schedule
To become a Master Gardener, you must complete Basic Training (usually 40-50 hours). Basic training is taught by University trained professionals and is organized at the county (or Baltimore City) level. Each program is independent, covers slightly different material and varies as to cost and training dates. Here are the approximate training dates for each active Master Gardener program. You must contact the MG program you are interested in to find out the requirements and procedures for becoming a Master Gardener and taking Basic Training.
