Are you thinking about improving your gardening knowledge? One way to do that is through the University of Illinois Extension's Master Gardener Program. The deadline to apply for an online spring session is this Saturday, May 16th.

Program Coordinator Sarah Ruth says being a master gardener is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to expand their knowledge about horticulture. She says the online classes offer training similar to what you would get in person.
