Continuing education can be obtained in the following ways:
■ Attend an education session held during the monthly Master Gardener meeting.
■ Attend a horticultural class that is general in nature
■ Attend advanced training, which is considered continuing education although the time is advanced
training.
■ Complete a meeting quiz and turn it in when you attend the meeting.
Travel to and from the class should be reported as volunteer time and not education.
