Service and Learning for Master Gardeners

Volunteer and Continuing Education Hours

Master Gardeners are required to perform and report at least 20 hours per year of approved gardening-related community service. They are also required to attend 10 hours of approved continuing education.

Provisional Master Gardeners, those who are receiving training during the current year, are required to perform and report 40 hours of approved service. Twenty of the 40 hours shall be directed toward the operation of the Gary Gerlach Plant Information Center (GPIC) at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens.

Hours of community service are to be documented and submitted to the Extension Liaison for proper recording by December 30.
