Expert Response
Hello Jeffrey,
MSU Extension offers many programs in gardening, pesticide certification, food safety, farming, home ownership and more.
May I ask, in which program are you interested?
The Master Gardners Program.
Hello Jeffry,
Thank you for your interest in the MSU Extension Master Gardener Program. During Covid most of the training is held online, with a final class to be held in person when it is safe to do so.
I believe there aren’t county restrictions if you can attend the final exam on the site for that county. That means nearby county’s classes may be an option for you. I will check on that and get back to you
This information from our state-wide coordinator, Mary Wilson, has information for you:
Training courses are offered starting in January, March and August/September. Details for the January and March training courses will be posted at the following website: https://www.canr.msu.edu/master_gardener_volunteer_program/join-us/upcoming-extension-master-gardene...
Additional training dates and times may also be added in the near future. You may contact your local county Extension office, when they reopen, as well.
Hello again,
I confirmed with the state coordinator that yes, you can sign up for the class in any county it is scheduled and that still has room. Please see the link in the first reply to you.
Regards,
Laura
