Other Instructions:

Once you have submitted your registration, you will be sent to a page in this form to pay for the course. We offer both Credit/Debit and PayPal options for payment. After submitting your payment you will receive an email confirmation from Jotform on behalf of DCMGA and the Earth-Kind Team that details all of the information that you provided us and specifies your payment type and amount. The confirmation email will be sent to the email address you enter in the form below during registration. If you do not see the Jotform email in your inbox, please check your Spam/Junk folder.

 

We value your interest and want to accommodate as many Master Gardeners as possible.

However, we align our registration process with DCMGA's primary mission of Educating the Public.

Therefore, we do not admit any Master Gardeners until half of the seats in the course are filled by the Public. 

We encourage you to fill out and submit a registration form with the understanding that you will be placed on a first-in, first-out waiting list that we monitor closely and will let you know as soon as slots become open.

You will be contacted in January if a seat in the course is available and you are the next Master Gardener on the list.

We ask that you let us know as soon as you can, if you are still willing to claim a seat. If not, we will offer the seat to the next Master Gardener on the wait list.

When contacted, you will be asked to return to the course registration link to officially register for the course which will allow you to pay for the course and to secure your seat.

For questions, comments or concerns please email ekd@dcmga.com

 

If you have any additional questions, please email us at ekd@dcmga.com

The EKD Course counts as CE for Master Gardeners and Interns cannot obtain CE hours until they are certified.

Thank you for your understanding. Please watch Plan Your Week for future dates in 2026 when the EKD course will be offered again.

Instructons:

You can close your Broswer if you want to wait and attend at a later date.
