  • The Link to register is CLOSED!

Colorado Master Gardeners do their volunteer service with us locally in the San Miguel Basin Extension Office! We love working with our Master Gardeners to put on local programs, work together in our local research gardens, coordinate the SMB Regional seed library, help clients solve their plant problems, etc.

Registration for the non-volunteer track is $530.
‘Green School’ is the term we used to describe the training for CMG Apprentices (CMG) AND Certified Colorado Gardener (CGC). Both types of students go through the same training, the main difference is that CMG apprentices have a reduced rate ($200 instead of $530) because they have the commitment of giving back to the community on behalf of CSU Extension.
