Toronto Master Gardeners are volunteers whose mandate is to share current, science-based horticultural information with the gardening public: in person, in print, via media, and online. Prior to becoming a Toronto Master Gardener, the successful recruit participates in the 2–3-year prerequisite Toronto Master Gardener-in-Training program. During this internship, the Toronto Master Gardeners-in-Training (MGiT) are mentored by an experienced Toronto Master Gardener and supported by the Recruitment and Training Team.
Thank you to all those that expressed an interest in the program and submitted an application to become a Toronto Master Gardener-in-training for 2024. The application and intake process is now closed.
Our next application and intake process for the Toronto Master Gardener-in-trainees will begin in August 2024.
If you would like more information about the Master Gardener program and to understand if becoming a Master Gardener is right for you, please send a message to training@torontomastergardeners.ca and we will get back to you. Thank you.
