Next week, University of Illinois Extension leaders are beginning training for volunteer master gardeners.
Candice Hart with the U of I Extension says next week they begin training for their master gardener and master naturalist programs. To make it more accommodating for anyone interested, they are holding the training in the evenings in Decatur, Illinois.
Fruits, vegetables, trees, and landscaping are among a host of topics involved in the roughly 60 hours of training. Hart says their trained volunteers then go into their communities and teach others what they have learned.
The training is open to anyone in the State of Illinois. Visit go.illinois.edu/dmp to get registered.
