Become a Sandoval County Master Gardener

To be certified as a Sandoval County Master Gardener, you must successfully complete the 14-week Master Gardener Classes offered each winter and complete a 40-hour internship that includes 10 hours of answering questions on the Hotline or a hotline-type activity and 30 hours of other community-based volunteer activities. Certified Master Gardeners must volunteer at least 40 hours each year, of which at least 10 hours must be earned in continuing education classes each year to retain their certification.

The classes meet every Tuesday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and generally run from early January through the middle of April. The cost of $125 covers the CD Manual, a thumb drive and other class materials. Course instructors include New Mexico State University Extension Specialists, certified Master Gardeners and other regional horticultural experts.
