And did I mention that it's free? Theresa - Thanks! It was always one of my life goals. I figured better later than never. I was one of the youngest in the class (I'm 29 now), but glad I didn't wait. I LOVE gardening! Kim - Yeah, I wasn't sure either that's why I didn't buy a ticket. But if I can get in for free, why not? I'm excited to just see what the atmosphere will be like. You may enjoy going to the Provo Children's Festival more. Erin - Thanks. Well, not including the volunteer work, I spent about 2 hours in class, two days a week for about 10 weeks. So that would be about 40 hours in the classroom. Plus we had monthly workshops that we had to attend for about six months after that which were a couple hours. So there's another twelve. In addition, we had to study our chapter units, complete worksheets and a take home final. So if you add everything up including volunteer, I'd round it up to a even 100 hours. I had a one year old at the time and I was pregnant and I managed to do it. So if I could do it, anybody could do it. Master Gardener's are a great community of people, and we keep in touch with continued socials. At the time I did it, it seemed as though it was my only adult interaction. Tarie – He, he.

I would love to do this some day. How many hours was the actual program (not including volunteer work)? Congratulations on the Master Gardener certification. I would love to do this some day.

I could definitely attend but I'm not sure if I want to. While I have enjoyed her Twilight series I wouldn't call myself a really big fan. But, I don't get the chance to go to events like this very often so maybe I should just go for the experience. I'll have to decide quickly since it will probably sell out soon. Hmm.
