The Colorado Gardener Certificate program is designed for those passionate about gardening. But Colorado gardening and landscaping takes grit…. and knowledge of our unique soils, climates, and plants. CSU Extension has been helping people grow in our great state for 150 years.
Those who complete the Colorado Gardener Certificate program receive the same training provided in the Colorado Master Gardener program. Courses are science-based and specific to our unique climate, soil, environment, insects, wildlife, and plants.
CSU Extension offers two options for their Certified Gardener Program:
-
Short Courses
- Bundles of 5 self-paced online courses
-
Green School
- Upon completion of the Green School, you’ll receive a Colorado Gardener Certificate. Because there is no subsequent volunteer commitment, participants do not become Colorado Master Gardeners. The title of ‘Master Gardener’ is a registered service mark and only to be used for CSU Extension events and purposes. The Colorado Gardener Certificate, however, may be displayed in a place of business and used in business marketing.
