People with a strong interest in gardening, and who enjoy helping others, are invited to apply to become an Oregon State University Extension Service Master Gardener.

Coos County-OSU Extension is accepting applications for training, which will begin Jan. 7 and continue every Thursday through March 11. Training will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Extension Service office in Myrtle Point.

The training will increase knowledge and understanding of such varied horticultural topics as botany, entomology, soil management, plant disease diagnosis and more. Instructors are OSU professionals and local experts.

To become a Master Gardener, applicants must attend all training sessions, pass examinations and volunteer 60 hours of horticultural service to the community.

Class size is limited. Those accepted must pay a materials fee of $150, with half being returned upon completion.

Interested individuals may request application packets from the Coos County OSU Extension Service office by calling (541) 572-5263, ext. 0, or stop by the office, 631 Alder Street, Myrtle Point. The deadline is Dec. 4.
