We have reformatted our process and our training is now called Foundations of Gardening.  It does not guarantee you become an MSU Extension Master Gardener, which is actually a volunteer program (not just a title).  The FOG course is for everyone, not just those wanting to apply to become an MSU EMG.  The MSU EMG title is separate from our new general public gardening course (FOG), but those wanting to apply to the MSU EMG volunteer part of the program can apply after they pass the course or just leave with the certificate.  

Know that if you live in Northeast Lower Michigan, there are currently no options to apply to become an MSU Extension Master Gardener following completion of the Foundations of Gardening Course, although you can still take our 10-week FOG course.

If you have more questions, search for your local MSU EMG contact person here: https://www.canr.msu.edu/master_gardener_volunteer_program/contact_us/
