Any value in becoming a master gardener?
I was wondering if anyone has found being a master gardener to be a boost in finding jobs in horticulture, or at least some sort of respect in the agricultural fields (excuse the pun). Is there any value to these positions, or are you simply 100 free hours of hired help the first year, then 25 hours every year thereafter? I don't mind the volunteer work either, but these classes seem to focus the vast amount of time on flower gardens, not the herb, fruit and vegetables which I enjoy so much in gardening. When I asked more about utilitarian gardening (ie food), the trainer gave a blank stare, as if noone had ever thought of focusing on these topics. The focus of the program is not job training. Although it seems that a good portion of Master Gardeners get hired in by garden centers around here. |
