Have any of you gone through the master gardener program in your area? I am interested in doing so but I am deterred by all the volunteer hours it requires--60 in my state I believe. We have three young kids but am staying at home with them for the time being and life is busy busy. For those who are master gardeners--have you been in the same position or do you think it is do-able for someone who is raising small kids? I have only ever seen retiree aged master gardeners in our area so I have been thinking maybe it is not a good idea for the moment but am curious what others think who have gone through the programs. To be clear, I am not opposed to the amount of volunteer hours (I think it is wonderful to be able to volunteer in such a way!) but am just wondering how practical it may be.
Thanks!
