"The Oregon State University Extension Master Gardener Program was initiated to train volunteers to assist County Extension Faculty in answering the overwhelming number of calls received from the urban community. The current training program consists of 13 six-hour classes, taught by knowledgeable veteran volunteers and OSU staff. Classes generally begin in mid January, and are held every Wednesday 9am-4pm. The formal classes are followed by a hands-on learning experience consisting of 70 volunteer educational service hours."
