Candidates for the program may have a range in experience or knowledge about horticulture, but all have a desire to learn. By joining the program, you are committing to serving the community as a volunteer gardening\/horticulture educator. Interested in joining the WSU Extension Pierce County Master Gardener Program? Complete the application (information below) and agree to the WSU Master Gardener Program&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mastergardener.wsu.edu\/get-involved\/join-us\/agreement-review\/\">expectations<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All WSU Extension Master Gardeners (EMG\u2019s) receive in-depth horticulture training provided by university faculty, staff, and specialists. Training is critical to ensure that all volunteers have access to the information necessary to support our mission. Training to become an Extension Master Gardener (EMG) volunteer include 3 main components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Green School online course.<\/strong>&nbsp;The online course will take place over a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/greenschool.extension.wsu.edu\/home\/wgs-schedule\/\">20-week period<\/a>&nbsp;between October 2026, and February 2027. Green School offers flexible, remote and hybrid training options. This includes self-paced online classes and online review sessions with subject matter experts from WSU. Courses are specific to the PNW\u2019s climate, soil, environment, insects, wildlife, and plants. Training is a big commitment and includes reading (online, no text required), homework, quizzes, in-class activities, lectures, and a final exam.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Local Volunteer Training.<\/strong>&nbsp;Trainees attend in-person labs or field trips at locations across Pierce County, WA. Applicants should anticipate being available to attend in-person sessions (primarily in Puyallup).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Internship\/volunteer service.<\/strong>&nbsp;Upon completing their training, trainees transition into their internship. As interns, they volunteer alongside certified WSU Extension Master Gardeners, enhancing their knowledge and skills while gaining comfort in community education and program participation. Interns are expected to complete&nbsp;<strong>60<\/strong> <strong>hours<\/strong>&nbsp;of volunteer service their first year. Volunteer service includes answering garden questions at our answer clinic, helping to maintain one of our demonstration gardens, giving presentations, or helping with our children\u2019s education team \u2013 to name just a few of the many opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Application Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our application will be open at the beginning of May and will close Mid-August.&nbsp; Once you have applied, we then host a short interview to discuss what will be expected of trainees in the upcoming courses. After the interviews are concluded, we send out acceptance communications to those who have been accepted into our program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will ask everyone who has been accepted to take a background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ongoing Commitment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WSU Extension Master Gardeners are active across the state and their impacts are impressive. We have a user-friendly reporting system so that logging hours, reporting outreach, and signing up for projects is simple. We\u2019re required to report our efforts locally and to the state annually \u2013 we want to show off the good work our volunteers are doing!

Annual certification in the Extension Master Gardener Program is not automatic. After completion of Green School and your internship commitment, you will become&nbsp;<em>certified.&nbsp;<\/em>To maintain certification, volunteers must give at least&nbsp;<strong>25&nbsp;hours<\/strong>&nbsp;of service and earn at least<strong>&nbsp;10<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>hours<\/strong>&nbsp;of continuing education each year.
