OSU Extension’s Central Gorge Master Gardeners program will begin taking registrations for 2026 on Friday, October 31.  Outreach Program Coordinator Megan Wickersham says the title is a bit misleading, saying you don’t have to be a “master gardener” to join.  You only have to be interested in gardening and want to learn more.  Those who are accepted into the program will take a series of classes during the winter on a wide variety of gardening-related subjects.  Then members give back to the community through a variety of projects and outreach programs.  To sign up for the Central Gorge Master Gardeners program beginning October 31, go online to centralgorgemga.org.
