This chairman is responsible for the gardening study courses within the state and keeps a record of each gardening consultant's status. After successful completion of four courses a member may become an accredited gardening consultant.
Objectives are to stimulate an interest in horticulture and to further the art of gardening.
This list is available to CGCI members. This chairman requests gardens, corrections and suggestions from all members. Each course is divided into learning units designed to be interesting, informative and to outline positive actions we can all pursue to be good stewards of The Living Earth. Courses are open to all interested people who may attend any or all of them for personal growth. The Flower Show Committee, instructors and judges are required to adhere to the The Handbook for Flower Shows and the Flower Shows Manual, with any additions and corrections appearing in the National Gardener.
