UMaine Extension announces horticulture and gardening training programs

Orono, Maine — The University of Maine Cooperative Extension will open registration this September for two comprehensive horticulture education programs designed for aspiring professionals and passionate home gardeners alike.

The Maine Horticulture Apprentice Training is ideal for individuals looking to explore a new career path, enhance existing skills, or launch a business in horticulture. This program blends flexible, self-paced online learning with a hands-on apprenticeship guided by experienced industry mentors.

“We developed this training with direct input from employers across Maine’s green industry to ensure participants gain the practical, real-world skills they need to succeed,” said Rebecca Long, Coordinator of Horticulture Training Programs at UMaine Extension. “Whether you’re just starting out or changing careers, this program opens doors.”

Enrollment for the Horticulture Apprentice Training opens Monday, September 22, 2025 at noon and space is limited. For course fees, schedules and more information, visit the Maine Horticulture Apprentice Training website.

For those looking to build their gardening knowledge without any volunteer or apprenticeship requirements, the Maine Gardener Training offers a fully virtual option focused on foundational horticulture education. Designed for gardeners of all levels, this course provides in-depth instruction on plant care, soil health, pest management, and more.

“This course is a great fit for anyone who wants to grow with confidence, troubleshoot garden issues, and understand the science behind successful gardening,” Long added.

Enrollment for the Maine Gardener Training opens Monday, September 29, 2025 at noon and space is limited. For course fees, schedules and more information, visit the Maine Gardener Training website.

For more information or to request a reasonable accommodation, contact the Extension horticulture team at 207-581-3188 or [email protected].
