Purdue Master Gardener - Hancock County
The Purdue Master Gardener Program is a popular program offered in Hancock County. There are classes as well as a Master Gardener Association that can help you with landscaping, composting, gardening questions and much more. 2009 Master Gardener training got under way on January 20 with a packed class of 27 eager students. The scheduling of future classes will be determined in large part by how many people show interest in advance. Filling out and submitting the application in the Application Pack below does not oblige you to take the class, but it does give us an idea how soon to try and schedule another class and allows us to contact you about that. The Application Pack also contains information about the Purdue Master Gardener program, a news release, letter to new students, and a 2009 tentative class schedule.
If you have more questions or comments please feel free to call the Extension office any time at 462-1113.
