The Class of 2020 for the Door County Master Gardeners is already half-full. The organization only takes 12 new students each year. Classes start in January on Wednesday evenings for 13 weeks. The cut-off to register is the end of November but Master Gardener Carrie Sherrill says those interested will want to decide earlier than that.

In addition to 36 credit hours of education, Master Gardener students are required to volunteer in the spring and summer followed by graduation.
