I took and passed the course in Illinois.It's very intensive.For me it's a hobby but many of the garden centers have master gardeners. Keith

I have a Master Composter certification from our County Extension Service. It is a program related to the Master Gardener program, but the course is only 10 weeks long here. It hasn't helped me get a job, but I did not intend for it to- in my county the training is offerred in exchange for volunteer hours.
