Training
Faculty members, Cooperative Extension staff, URI Master Gardeners, and local experts offer instructions in the basics of plant science and sustainable gardening. Trainees learn about soil and plant nutrition, plant physiology, insects and diseases, turf management, pruning, composting, pesticide safety, and fruit and vegetable production.
The training is offered each winter and early spring for at least 12 weeks. Tuition includes the comprehensive Rhode Island Sustainable Gardening Manual. Upon successful completion of the training course the Trainee becomes a Master Gardener intern and must complete 50 hours of volunteer service before earning the title of URI Master Gardener and being certified to work on approved Master Gardener projects.
