Master Gardener Association Home Horticulture Series

Announcing the Spring 2014 session of the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association Home Horticulture Series hosted by Tower Hill Botanic Garden.

This program is a ten week evening class taught by Master Gardeners that will provide a high-level overview to all the topics covered by the MG training class in a more compact format.

The goal is to give the home gardener a comprehensive introduction to horticulture that will allow them to garden more effectively and give them a foundation for enhancing their knowledge and skills.

Topics to be covered include: Nomenclature, Soil, Botany, Vegetable Culture, Perennial Culture, Propagation, Turf Culture, Weed Ecology, Diseases & Pests, and Woody Plants & Pruning.

The class will be held at Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, MA on Tuesday nights at 6:30 - 8:00 from March 18 - May 20. Cost for the 10 week course will be $250 with payment due upon registration.

For those that are interested but can not attend the Spring session, the Fall 2014 session of the Home Horticulture Series will be hosted by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at the Elm Bank Reservation. The course will run for 10 weeks from Tuesday September 9 - Tuesday November 18 (skipping the week of Columbus day October 14).
