Take Your Gardening Skills to the Next Level with Green School!

While the application period for the Colorado Master Gardener (CMG) Program has closed, you can still register for Green School. What’s the difference? The CMG Program incorporates Green School as the training portion for the Master Gardeners but then also requires anyone wanting to become a Master Gardener to fulfill 50 hours of volunteer work as guided by the local coordinator. Green School, by itself on the other hand, is all of the varied and thorough online training that covers topics such as trees, botany, soils, entomology, and more! The online courses run from November through March and are supplemented by live review sessions with CSU experts where participants can dive deeper and ask any questions that arose through their studies. Learn more and register by visiting CSU Green School.
