Master Gardener On-Line Training:
Welcome to the EARTH-KIND^TM On-Line Master Gardener Training web site. This program is designed to provide information on a variety of environmentally friendly (EARTH-KIND^TM) practices for use in the home landscape and garden. As your interest and knowledge in this area grows you will have an increased awareness of the many programs, practices and activities that are EARTH-KIND^TM.

Texas Master Gardeners can select from any of these on-line modules to obtain up to 3 hours of re-certification education credits in a calendar year. Each module is worth 1 hour of credit. Master Gardeners are encouraged not to seek re-certification credit for training modules they have completed in previous years.

Progress through the training program is tracked "on-line" and the results for each completed module are automatically forwarded to the Master Gardener Coordinator.

Participation in the EARTH-KIND^TM On-Line Master Gardener Training will assist Texas AgriLife Extension Service to promote principles and practices that help conserve and protect our state's valuable natural resources. Working together we can create a healthy and sustainable environment.
