I'm not sure if this is nationwide or just in the Indiana area (sponsored
by Perdue University) but has anyone ever taken the Master Gardener course?
What was it like? Was it worth it? Opinions welcome.

Thx.


It all hinges on how intelligent or open minded your horticultural
agent for the extension is. I went through three MG programs in three
different states many years ago and they gave virtually NO good
information outside their spray and kill notions. Things may be
different now.

You also have to volunteer a lot of hours to get certified. I say
start to go and make the decision when you see what it's all about.
