University of Wyoming Extension is offering an online Master Gardening course this fall from September 10th – December 3rd.
Cousrse details shared below from UW Extension office:
Most classes will be Tuesday evenings except for Wednesday Oct. 2 and 16. All classes are 6-9 p.m., said Chris Hilgert, UW Extension horticulture specialist and state master gardener coordinator.
Each class will be taught live by instructors using Zoom, a free video-conferencing program that can be used on a smartphone, tablet or computer. Visit https://zoom.us for more information.
“Offering the Master Gardener training online is really exciting because we have an opportunity to reach a broader audience across the state,” said Hilgert.

“Anyone who has a passion for gardening and who loves to learn will enjoy the Master Gardener program,” said Hilgert. “All of the classes focus on growing in Wyoming’s challenging climate.”
The Master Gardener program also provides an opportunity to become part of a community of volunteers who help others learn to grow, said Hilgert.
Registration is $75 and includes sales tax and one shipped copy of Sustainable Horticulture for Wyoming: A Master Gardener Handbook.
