You have two options for taking the course: Option 1 is the certified Master Gardener track.  This means you want to become a Master Gardener volunteer as well as potentially take further Master Gardener courses (Level II and III).  To complete the certification you would take an exam at the end of the course (take home, open book exam) and then complete 20 volunteer hours that are horticulturally related within a year of taking the course.

Option 2 is the non-certified track.  With this option you just take the course for your information with no test or volunteer hour requirements.
