Master Gardener Course

Help Home Gardeners By Becoming A Yukon Master Gardener

We offer the Master Gardener Course to train volunteers to assist home gardeners by providing information and technical instruction in northern gardening techniques.

This year eight instructors will deliver the 40-hour course, giving you a broad background in plant botany and physiology, soils, plant taxonomy, outdoor and greenhouse gardening, lawns, houseplants, pests and pest control, herbs and medicinal plants and ornamental horticulture.

Your registration fee will also get you the Yukon Gardener's Manual, various written handouts and fact sheets. Registration is limited to 25 students on a first come first served basis.

The course is held in late January of each year.

Your pre-requisite is to be familiar with Yukon gardening conditions and committed to volunteering 40 hours of your time to provide gardening information to others.

For more information and to register, contact Tony Hill (tony.hill@gov.yk.ca) or Mary Lynn (marylynn.drul@gov.yk.ca) at the Yukon Agriculture Branch at 667-5838.
