[November 11, 2011]  If you have a desire to learn more about gardening and then share your knowledge with others, the University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener volunteer program may be for you.

Master Gardeners are adult members of the community who are interested in learning more about lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables, the environment and much more. Master Gardener trainees receive 60 hours of in-depth, unbiased, research-based horticulture training from University of Illinois Extension educators and specialists. A Master Gardener intern is expected to return 60 hours of volunteer service in the year following their graduation.

Classes will be offered on Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., starting Jan. 26 and ending April 5, 2012.

The application deadline is Nov. 29. If you would like an application or more information about the program, call 217-732-8289.
