Continuing education (CE or professional development) is a way for MGVs to learn more after Level 1 training and keep up with the latest horticultural information. Policies on what counts as CE vary by area. Check with your County Coordinator (usually the county UW-Extension agent) to be sure of what is acceptable in your county.
CE may include:
- Horticulture programs at your local meetings
- Twilight meetings or field days
- Horticultural seminars at local colleges
- Lectures at botanical gardens, or presentations by MGVs
- MG conferences
- Level 2 training
- Online advanced training
- Approved TV programs
- Wisconsin Horticulture Updates
- Responding to Horticulture Inquiries
- Reading articles on this website (if approved by your facilitator)
