What is the Master
Gardener Program??
The function of the Plant Clinic and the
Master Gardener Program is to help homeowners with an acre or
less, identify and resolve their landscape problems.
Master Gardeners receive extensive training in landscape
management. Their training includes classes in Botany,
Horticulture, Soil Science, Entomology, Pesticide Management,
Lawn Care, Plant Identification, Plant Pathology and many other
related topics. The classes have expanded to include
'Managing Your Backyard Forest' to better serve homeowners with
forestlands between 5-10 acres. Continual training and
volunteer hours are required each year to recertify as a Master
Gardener. Master Gardeners are available to answer
questions at the local Farmer's Market in the spring and summer
and at the North Idaho Fair in August. Master Gardeners
work with other agencies within the county to help educate the
public in regard to water quality issues and reduction and
correct use of chemicals in the landscape.
