Hello, 

Thank you for your interest in the Master Gardener program! Our training for this year has already started, but I would be happy to add you to the interest list for next year. Applications usually open in the late fall or winter, and classes have generally started at the end of January or early February. 

The standard cost for the program is $200, but we also offer a reduced cost option of $150. We are happy to work with individuals on a case-by-case basis to lessen financial barriers. To apply for next year's training, please reach out to the Linn County Master Gardener team or check the website for updates How to Join | OSU Extension Service in the late fall or winter. There is an online application that you would need to fill out, and upon completion, the team would reach out to you directly with confirmation of enrollment. I hope that's helpful! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
