Master Gardener Program at Oregon State University


I just completed my first week of the OSU Master Gardener/Home Horticulture program! I was very excited to be accepted into this 12-week online program, and I've enjoyed doing my reading and my homework this week. I just took my first quiz, and got 14 out of 15 questions correct! A good start, I think.


My classmates/cohort group are located all over the world! I love this aspect of online courses. One guy is in Kabul, Afghanistan, and another woman is in Pennsylvania. The rest of us are scattered from Arizona, California, Oregon and Washington.


We are getting acquainted with each other on our online Discussion Board. This will be a great way to talk about our assignments and share our botany questions and answers. It's been a dream of mine for about five years to find an online course so I could gather together all of the information I will need to care for and nuture my trees, plants and shrubs, and to make my property look like I have envisioned it.


By December 1, I will be finished with the course, and then the real work begins. Wish me luck!
