The Clatsop County Extension Office is now accepting applications for the 2023 Oregon State University master gardener program. Master gardeners receive intensive classroom and hands-on training in science and research-based horticultural practices and sustainable gardening, enabling them to help the extension service answer home and community horticulture questions for the public.

The 2023 master gardener training will be held in person. The trainings are held Wednesday evenings, 6 to 9 p.m., from Jan. 11 through March 29 on the Clatsop Community College campus. Remote learning options are available for those who may not be able to attend in person.

Clatsop County residents and those living in neighboring counties are eligible to apply. Applications are available online: https://beav.es/5Wm.
