Continuing Education

Why do we remain Master Gardeners?

A large part of the MG experience is sharing our knowledge with others and continuing to learn with other members. We know that it’s fun and it’s rewarding.

Learning takes place in many ways and the MG Program is offering more ways to learn and keep us current than ever before including its community gardens, phone and plant clinics, workshops with MG’s and expert horticulturalists, online learning through WSU and our websites, diagnostics and more.

What is the MGFKC Education Committee?

The MG Foundation supports the MGFKC Program Coordinator with some of these aspects. The foundation Education Committee along with your board is planning workshops and tours for the 2011 season.

Want to know what will be coming up for CE?

Instructors at Lake Washington Technical College Horticultural Program in Kirkland WA will offer some new topics this year on weekdays. As soon as these and other workshops are confirmed for 2011 you can find them on the Web site in the Classes/Training section, in direct e-mail communications and in the new newsletter. Don’t forget the Bellevue Demo Garden Saturday morning talks by many of our members.

Tina is always interested in suggestions for workshops and for venues that would work for you. If you would like to host a speaker for a class we would appreciate your assistance.  Now is the time to be involved for 2011.
