​Master Gardeners must report a minimum of 1 hour CE
and 1 hour volunteer service to remain active.

To be Fully Certified:
To be fully certified, Master Gardeners must report 10 hours CE and 24 hours of volunteer service.

The number of hours that you report in a preceding year will determine whether or not you are active or certified for the following year.
