Destin Landscaping Design Company Highlights Florida Master Gardeners Program

Destin, FLA. - Gardening enthusiasts across the Florida panhandle may want to consider participating in the upcoming Florida Master Gardener volunteer program. Florida Master Gardener volunteers are trained by the University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS). According to the landscaping design company, Heroman Services Plant Company, throughout the 15-week course, hands-on activities are organized both indoors and outdoors to provide volunteers with vast plant knowledge. The subjects to be taught in the program include landscape, invasive species, botany, pollinators, propagation, pest and disease management, lawn, and garden practices. The trainees will then participate in volunteer activities around the community in return for their training.

From July through August, classes will be held every Friday beginning at 9 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m. All applications for the program must be submitted by June 4th. On the volunteer communication website, you can find information about the application deadline and how to apply. Interviews are conducted in June as part of the selection process. A limited number of seats are available for the classes. Those interested in participating in the program are encouraged to visit the Florida Master Gardener Program website at gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/mastergardener/.

The trained master gardeners will participate in projects such as providing homeowners with guidance on landscapes, assisting with in-school science programs, and educating local groups about horticulture. The program also offers participants benefits such as exclusive field trips and educational opportunities and making a positive impact on the community.
