I’ve been a gardener for as long as I can remember. Even when I was a young kid in elementary school, I loved digging into the dirt to get my hands dirty with my father and grandfather. I learned early on that gardening is one of the most rewarding hobbies out there. It’s truly incredible to watch your plants grow and bloom! As I got older, I decided to take my love of gardening to the next level: I decided to go to gardening school to get my Master Gardener’s certification from my local Utah State University! It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, and I highly recommend it to other gardeners looking to brush up on their gardening skills. Try these online gardening classes today! I did, and it changed my life AND my gardening methods!
Gardening Classes Will Benefit Your Garden
It’s no secret that the immediate benefactor of your gardening knowledge is indeed your garden. But did you know that gardening classes will do more than increase your vegetable yield every year? It’s true! You can find gardening classes specializing in everything from soil care basics to pest control and even fruit tree care! For beginners, a class in botany and soil basics would be beneficial. The soil care class is probably the most important of all because as any gardener knows, your plants aren’t healthy if your soil isn’t! You can find a full list of the gardening courses offered at Utah State University here.
Online Gardening Courses Don’t Require That Much Time
I know what you’re probably thinking: you don’t have the time needed to devote to gardening classes. That’s where you’re wrong! For only a few hours each week, you can take an online gardening course! You won’t have to go to an in-person class at all, and you can learn everything needed for a career in botany from the comfort of your own living room. Courses are typically two months in duration and gardeners can sign up for as many as 5 classes (sometimes more!) at a time.
What Can I Do With A Master Gardener’s Certificate?
Besides totally kick-butt at all things gardening, of course. With a master gardener’s certification, you have the ability to volunteer for a community garden, teach gardening classes at a local nursery, or even turn your knowledge into a new career. Those with a master gardening certificate can pursue careers in floral design or landscape design. Not to mention, you could start your own nursery! The options are endless with a master gardener’s certificate. Register for a course today!
