Apply now for Fall Master Gardener class

The Colorado Master Gardener program in Broomfield is taking applications for the fall evening class.

Anyone who would like to play an active role in the education of gardeners in the Broomfield community is invited to join the Colorado Master Gardener team. Master Gardener volunteers help the community by answering questions on garden care and provide education by teaching classes, writing news articles, working with special audiences, and maintaining demonstration sites.

The Master Gardener program is innovative and flexible in its outreach and works to match volunteer skills and schedules. Each year, Colorado Master Gardeners all over the state help people make the right choices for their garden care.

If you are interested in gaining knowledge and helping others, the Colorado Master Gardener program is for you. This session of classes runs September through December in Boulder every Tuesday and Thursday evening, 6 to 9 p.m. Please contact the Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Office in Broomfield County at 720-887-2286 for an application.
