Become a Kittitas County Master Gardener
Master Gardener Training 2024-2025
Thank you for your interest in the WSU Extension Kittitas County Master Gardener Program! Our program engages university trained volunteers to empower diverse communities with unbiased research-based horticulture and environmental stewardship education. Find out more on the WSU Master Gardener Website.
Have you always wanted to learn more about gardening, meet new people and make a difference in the community? Then the WSU Master Gardener program may be just what you’re looking for. We asked some certified volunteers what they like best about being a WSU Master Gardener volunteer. Their answers were continual learning and friendships. WSU Extension Master Gardeners have fun, learn new things, and meet new friends all while giving back to their communities.
The first step in becoming a WSU Extension Master Gardener is to apply for and take Basic Training, which is a horticulture series offered as a combination of online and in-class training sessions.
Students who complete the course and the internship serve the community as home-garden horticulture advisors and earn the title WSU Extension Kittitas County Master Gardener.
