OZARK, Mo. -- University of Missouri Extension is offering Master Gardener training courses in Branson West and Ozark this fall.
The intensive multi-week Master Gardener courses begin with orientations on Sept. 30. The trainings will consist of 10 three-hour classes on specific Monday and Thursday afternoons in Branson West and evenings at Ozark. The classes will all occur from Oct. 7 to Nov. 21.
Participants have their choice in classes: 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in Branson West and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Ozark.
“This is a great opportunity for persons interested in horticulture and gardening. Attendees get to learn new skills, volunteer for community educational projects and become associated with other gardeners in the area with similar interests,” said Gordon Carriker, agriculture business specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Christian County.
According to Tim Schnakenberg, agronomy specialist with University of Missouri Extension in Stone County, the classes are taught by educators from University of Missouri Extension, Master Gardeners, Missouri Department of Conservation and the Missouri Department of Agriculture.
“There is a course fee which covers the 30 hours of instruction and many resource materials including the ‘Missouri Grounds for Gardening’ manual,” said Schnakenberg.
Pre-registration is needed by Oct. 2. It is recommended to attend the orientation for a review of the program. Space is limited, so register early.
For more information and to pre-register for the Branson West class, contact Schnakenberg at the Stone County Extension Center, (417) 357-6812.
To pre-register for the Ozark class, contact Carriker at the Christian County Extension Center, (417) 581-3558.

“The Master Gardener Program is a popular, successful statewide volunteer community-service organization administered through University of Missouri Extension. The organization’s goal is to train gardeners who are willing to share their knowledge with others,” said Carriker.
Master Gardeners become volunteers of the University of Missouri and donate volunteer hours for community educational projects in horticulture. Participants who complete the course can become members of one of the Master Gardener groups throughout Missouri.
