Master Gardener Classes
Thank you for your interest in the Louisiana Master Gardener Program.
The Webster Parish Extension Office of the LSU AgCenter is pleased to tell you that we offer a new class for Master Gardeners each summer. Applicants from Bienville, Bossier, Claiborne and Webster Parishes are welcomed to apply. Classes are held on consecutive Thursdays for 10 weeks from early June through mid-August. Classes consist of a morning lecture and an afternoon lab and are held at the Webster Parish Extension Office at 1202 Homer Road in Minden. An application is attached for you to complete and return before April 1.
Upon course completion, you will be expected to donate 40 hours the first year and 20 hours yearly thereafter of volunteer time working on local Master Gardener projects, answering homeowner’s gardening questions on the telephone, developing and maintaining Extension demonstration gardens, and doing occasional short demonstrations. Training volunteers is the primary Extension objective for the Master Gardener program.
Class size is limited. Class members will be chosen in April. You will be notified of your acceptance by mail and given registration information and instructions for submitting payment. There is a fee to cover the cost of the instruction manual and teaching supplies. The 2017 cost is $150. Payment will be received after your acceptance into the class.
If you have any further questions about the Master Gardener classes or have a disability which requires special assistance for your participation, please contact Lee Faulk (318) 371-1371 or Marjorie Thomas (318) 927-5283 for assistance.
