Its not that hard.



I don't know about that.
The schedules are impossible if you hold down a job.


That's cuz the program is mainly for retired little old ladies & gents
who've outlived most of their previous friends & need some new ones.

The "public service" volunteer aspect of the system requires each little
old lady or gent who has achieved Master Gardener status to sit at a card
table at Saturday markets or in nurseries to answer questions. If the
question is "How do I join the Master Gardener program" they'll know. If
it's anything about gardening anything like that, they won't know.
